Wilshire Phoenix has filed to launch a bitcoin trust in hopes of making the cryptocurrency more accessible to investors.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejected Wilshire Phoenix's bid for a bitcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The SEC is poised to rule on another bitcoin ETF application this week. Wilshire Phoenix is hoping its novel fund structure might help it succeed where others have not.

Members of the public have another 21 days to send the SEC comments on a proposed ETF backed by bitcoin and Treasury bonds.
