Story of the week - The Launch Of Bitcoin ETF


What is Bitcoin futures ETF?

ETF is an exchange-traded fund that invests in futures of underlying assets and is regulated by the SEC. Here in the case of Bitcoin ETF, the fund would invest in bitcoin futures and derive its value from the change in Bitcoin future prices.

Will this transform the Crypto Market?

It would be too early to say that ETF would whole together transform the regulatory space in the crypto market. But, at the same time, it won't be an understatement to say that this is the much-needed stepping stone 

In the opening 20 minutes, $280 million worth of shares were traded, according to early reports, and more than $850 million by the end of the day when it closed up 5%.
