Another two bitcoin ETFs are gunning to win the approval of a regulator that’s so far been skeptical of derivatives based on digital currency.

Cboe Global Markets Inc. asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to list two bitcoin-linked exchange-traded funds on one of its markets, in a filing on Tuesday. The GraniteShares Bitcoin ETF and the GraniteShares Short Bitcoin ETF would trade on the Cboe BZX exchange. The issuer, GraniteShares, is a New-York based provider of commodities ETFs.
