Btcetf time
bitcoin network generates a new block every ten minutes. Every time a miner completes a block, he can get a certain amount of bitcoin as a block reward, and the reward will be halved for every 210000 blocks mined. Because the time for mining each block is limited to 10 minutes, at this rate, the period for the reward to be halved is four years, that is to say, the reward for bitcoin blocks is halved every four years
when the bitcoin block reward was halved for the first time, its price rose 25 times from 300 yuan to 7995 yuan; In the second half, the price rose 28 times from 5011 yuan to 140000 yuan. So many people predict that the third halving of bitcoin in May 2020 will lead to a sharp rise in the price of bitcoin, at least 10 times. However, these figures are not so clear. After halving in 2012, bitcoin prices rose for two months, and in 2016, there was almost no immediate response to deflation for a month. This may also be the result of the strategy of "buying rumors and selling news" implemented by some speculators
extended data:
after bitcoin halved, the supply slowed down, and keeping deflation through algorithm has always been a part of bitcoin protocol design. It was set up to ensure the value of bitcoin. By recing block incentives and setting the maximum possible supply of bitcoin at 21 million bitcoins, bitcoin has an anti inflation feature, which runs counter to the tendency of central banks to print money at will. At present, there are about 17.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and less than 3.5 million bitcoins are available for mining. When the next block award halves, bitcoin's annual inflation rate will drop from the current 3.8% to about 1.8%
maintaining deflation through algorithms has always been a part of the design of bitcoin protocol. It was created to guarantee the value of bitcoin. By recing block incentives and keeping the total amount of bitcoin at 21 million bitcoins, bitcoin is endowed with an anti inflation nature, which is different from the tendency of central banks to print money at will. At present, there are about 17.5 million bitcoins in circulation and less than 3.5 million available for mining. The next block award cut in half could rece bitcoin's annual inflation rate from the current 3.8% to about 1.8%. This will be the first time in bitcoin's history that it has fallen below the historical average of about 2% - 3% growth in gold supply
in short, bitcoin ETF tracks the price of bitcoin. If the price of bitcoin ETF goes up, then the price of bitcoin goes up; On the contrary, if the price of bitcoin falls, the price of bitcoin ETF will fall. The difference between bitcoin and bitcoin ETF is that we don't have to worry about the bitcoin in our wallet being stolen by hackers, and we don't have to worry about where our bitcoin should be stored. This is a promotion on the technical level. If we buy bitcoin ETF, we will no longer have to learn how to operate bitcoin on the computer.
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
