ETF of trading BTC
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
what is bitcoin ETN? Bitcoin ETN is bitcoin exchange traded notes (bonds)
ETN, that is, exchange traded bonds or exchange traded notes. It is a kind of unguaranteed creditor's rights. The issuer promises to pay investors a certain amount to the holders at the maturity of the bonds. The payment amount is based on a specific market index, minus the necessary fees, and does not pay fixed interest, And the principal is not guaranteed
bitcoin ETN is a bill (bond) traded on bitcoin exchange, which allows users to participate in investment by tracking the price trend of bitcoin. What users hold is the promise to cash their funds according to their price index over a period of time. At the same time, it is also a very efficient hedging tool
after investors purchase bitcoin ETN, they do not need to hold bitcoin directly. The company will hold bitcoin on behalf of investors, which reces the investment risk of investors. As an investment tool, it greatly widens the channel for institutional investors to invest in cryptocurrency
is bitcoin ETN and ETF confused so, what are the differences between bitcoin ETN and bitcoin ETF the procts of bitcoin ETN and ETF are similar in that investors can invest in bitcoin without holding bitcoin directly; Second, in view of the characteristics of cryptocurrency price fluctuations, both of them have solved the worries of investors when they invest in cryptocurrency; Secondly, both can effectively attract more investors and bring more capital inflow; At the same time, both have the credit endorsement of traditional financial institutions, which greatly reces the investment risk of investors
Second, bitcoin ETN allows users to participate in investment by tracking the price trend. What users hold is the promise to cash in accordance with their price index over a period of time. Bitcoin ETF is a trading open-end index fund set up with the bitcoin price index in a certain market as the target index, similar to gold ETF. In addition to the ETF investors who are the beneficiaries of the trust, there are also three important subjects: the sponsor, the trustee and the custodian. They will sign the trust contract and perform their respective ties according to the contract
Thirdly, different from ETF using a basket of stocks for redemption, ETN using cash for redemption will be subject to some restrictions, resulting in low timeliness. The arbitrage efficiency of ETF is lower than that of ETF because of the non physical redemption characteristics, so the discount premium rate is generally higher than that of ETF The successful entry of ETN procts into the U.S. market can make it easier for investors holding US dollars to invest in bitcoin related procts, which undoubtedly increases the attraction of digital currency as an investment assetthe regulation of ETN, a cryptocurrency listed on the stock exchange, fully shows that bitcoin is officially recognized as a legal asset class. In addition, as an investment tool, it greatly widens the channels for institutional investment to enter cryptocurrency investment
after ETN enters the market, what is the response of bitcoin market
it was once believed that bitcoin price would soar all the way when ETF passed and a large number of institutional investors entered the market. ETN is regarded as the "soft" substitute of bitcoin ETF, which is the dream of the public. ETN allows us dollar holders to invest in bitcoin without holding bitcoin. In principle, this should be a big event that can drive the market, but in fact, the market response is not big, and it does not attract many US investors and the Wall Street capital they are fighting for, This is a strange phenomenon
Jeff kilburg, founder and CEO of KKM financial, explained that the price of bitcoin will continue to fluctuate until the application for ETF is finally answered, and ETN will not have much influence
Bart Smith, head of the digital assets Department of Susquehanna International Group, a global investment market giant, is optimistic about this. He said that ETN has had a certain influence on the market, but it is far less explosive than ETF
there are also views that in order to make ETN procts more competitive, investors need to persuade their brokerage account providers to provide bitcoin ETN services on their platforms. According to the reaction of many investors, their brokerage account suppliers say that they do not support cxbtf (bitcoin tracker one's transaction code) transactions at present, or they need to perform more complicated steps to carry out transactions
ETN is neither regulated by SEC nor registered with SEC, so its influence is far less than that of ETF
although US investors can now invest in bitcoin through ETN and some institutional exchanges, bitcoin has not yet reached a new height. Most cryptocurrency market investors still hope that regulators can approve bitcoin ETF to enter the U.S. market, because they believe that this will promote bitcoin to be adopted by more mainstream funds, including wall street, and will cause a large-scale price rise. In addition, the SEC continues to consider various applications for bitcoin ETFs, so there are still a lot of hype and excitement about the ETFs that may pass
