  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that in 2017, there were no bitcoin ETFs or mutual funds approved by the SEC. The regulatory landscape for these investment vehicles was quite uncertain and there were significant hurdles to overcome. The SEC expressed concerns about market manipulation, custody of assets, and lack of investor protection. As a result, any attempts to launch bitcoin ETFs or mutual funds were met with rejection or withdrawal of applications. It wasn't until later years that some progress was made in this area.

  In 2017, the regulations and restrictions for bitcoin ETFs and mutual funds were quite stringent. The SEC was cautious about approving such investment vehicles due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies and the potential for fraud and market manipulation. The lack of proper custodial solutions and regulatory oversight also posed challenges. As a result, investors had limited options when it came to investing in bitcoin through ETFs or mutual funds.
