Datoteke BlockFi platforme za posojanje za fizično zasnovane Bitcoin ETF

Centralizirana platforma za izmenjavo in posojanje kriptovalut BlockFi je naslednja na vrsti, da vloži vlogo za Bitcoin ETF pri SEC. Vendar pa naj bi ta ETF podprt s trdimi Bitcoini in ne s terminskimi pogodbami.

BlockFi NB Bitcoin ETF

According to company documents vložena earlier today, the “BlockFi NB Bitcoin ETF” (Ticker: BBBB) will issue shares that reflect the performance of Bitcoin held by the trust. It will direct a yet-unnamed custodian to buy or sell bitcoin on its behalf, in order to pay expenses or redeem shares. Each share will be priced daily based on Coin Metrics’ real-time reference rate on Bitcoin’s current value.

To je v nasprotju z Bitcoin ETF which have been approved in the US thus far. Both the ProShares and Valkyries Bitcoin ETFs are Backed by futures contracts, upon which they have a monthly holding limit. Based on its opening day success, the ProShares ETF pristopil that limit within days of its launch.

Možnosti

Do zdaj so bili vsi poskusi ETF, podprte s fizičnimi Bitcoini, zavrnjeni. Predsednik SEC Gary Gensler je večkrat pokazal naklonjenost do Futures ETF zaradi njihove regulativne zaščite. Vendar pa lahko uspeh prvih terminskih ETF za Bitcoin prejšnji mesec vzbudi zaupanje v SEC, da naredi naslednji korak.

BlockFi isn’t the only one still trying, either. VanEck filed for a similar product, and Grayscale išče to turn its massive Bitcoin fund into a publicly-traded ETF. According to Bloomberg analyst James Seyfart, the SEC’s decision on Vaneck’s spot Bitcoin fund is rok 14. novembra.

Though the SEC continues hesitating, its international counterparts are proving far more welcoming. Last month, Australian regulators izdano guidelines on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, signaling openness to the product. Meanwhile, the United States’ Canadian neighbors were the first country to odobri a Bitcoin ETF – and now houses multiple.
