Composition of bitcoin ETF
ETF, fully known as "trading type open-end index fund", is a kind of open-end fund listed and traded on the exchange with variable fund shares. Investors can not only apply for or redeem fund shares from fund management companies, but also buy and sell ETF shares at the market price in the exchange. ETF is the bitcoin holder's consignment of bitcoin spot to the fund company, and then the fund company relies on it to publicly issue fund shares in the exchange and sell them to all kinds of investors. In addition, banks and brokers will be responsible for underwriting
in short, bitcoin ETF is to securitize bitcoin into an open-ended fund proct that can be bought on the exchange
the successful application of bitcoin ETF means that:
1. The successful application of bitcoin ETF will first lower the threshold of bitcoin transaction and bring a lot of money to the bitcoin trading market
2. It will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency instry and promote asset custody
3. ETF is equivalent to telling the public that bitcoin has been officially recognized as a legal asset class, changing people's overall view on the regulatory risk of cryptocurrency, which will accelerate the public's acceptance of cryptocurrency represented by bitcoin
the launch of any ETF proct will naturally stimulate its underlying proct market, because on the one hand, the underlying proct is most suitable for hedging ETF price fluctuations, and on the other hand, ETF purchase and redemption will inevitably involve buying and selling entity bitcoin. If the 15th application is passed, it will be a healthy development. In the next step, there will be more demand for derivatives, such as ETF options
bitoffer has bitcoin ETF so far, almost all applications for bitcoin ETFs have been rejected by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including those from bitwise asset management, Winklevoss brothers, Vaneck / solidx and direxion it is understood that Wilshire Phoenix applied to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE Arca) for bitcoin ETF for the first time last summer, and submitted amendment No. 6 of its trust fund registration statement to the SEC on February 14. Unlike other previous bitcoin ETF proposals, Wilshire Phoenix's ETF will invest in both bitcoin and US Treasury bonds. Second, the trust will be automatically adjusted once a month to address concerns about fluctuations in the bitcoin price comments: for a long time, bitcoin ETF has not been passed because the SEC is based on the risks and concerns related to cryptocurrency funds, including pricing, liquidity, custody, arbitrage and possible manipulation problems. Obviously, Wilshire Phoenix has paid attention to this point in the design of the fund this time. It has added the share of US Treasury bonds. If the price of bitcoin fluctuates too much, it will increase the share of bonds and rece the share of bitcoin. But it still doesn't work. It still can't explain the manipulation of bitcoin price. If this problem cannot be solved, bitcoin ETF will be difficult to be approved. So many people are actually immune to this problem, and it is really difficult to get approval in a short time in view of the SEC's rejection of bitcoin ETF application, it can be said that the only hope of cryptocurrency practitioners for ETF has been broken once again. The reason why bitcoin ETF is expected is that it is of great significance. We can understand it as a stock of NASDAQ or NYSE. If bitcoin ETF is listed, all investors can buy it directly from compliance channels. This is equivalent to expanding the audience of bitcoin from the coin circle to the U.S. stock market and even the whole global market. This demand will be enormous
in China, bitcoin can not be recognized as a currency in circulation, so investment is not recommended.
