This stems from regulatory caution due to increased interest in investing in Crypto assets and complex market dynamics.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan’s comments come as Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo have begun offering spot Bitcoin ETFs to their wealth clients.
Bitwise's spot Bitcoin ETF sets a precedent with transparent holdings' addresses. Will other ETFs, like BlackRock, follow suit? Positive community response and philanthropy amplify Bitwise's impact in the crypto space.
This move follows a similar announcement made on January 6 by VanEck, stating its intention to donate 5% of the profits from the Bitcoin Spot ETF to Bitcoin developers.
Bitwise Asset Management plans to allocate 10% of profits from its Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) to non-profit organizations supporting open-source development within the Bitcoin community. This move aims to give back to Bitcoin's original developers and contribute to the growth of the industry. Following the recent SEC approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, traditional asset managers can now offer clients exposure to Bitcoin, potentially attracting new investors to the cryptocurrency space. Bitwise commits to making annual contributions for at least the next decade to sustain long-term support for Bitcoin open-source development.
As major players like VanEck, Bitwise, and BlackRock make strategic moves, the Bitcoin ETF landscape is witnessing significant developments. While fee structures are becoming competitive, the commitment to supporting core developers adds an interesting layer to these financial maneuvers.
88% of investment professionals surveyed are interested in buying BTC and are awaiting the launch of a U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF.
BlackRock and Bitwise revise Bitcoin ETF applications, signaling a proactive stance in aligning with SEC regulations.
BlackRock and Bitwise have submitted revised spot Bitcoin ETF applications to the SEC, signaling ongoing discussions. BlackRock's updated filing includes language on monitoring price movements and anti-money laundering compliance. Bitcoin's recent surge adds to speculation about potential SEC approval, with the cryptocurrency currently trading near $42,000.
Last month, the watchdog gave the thumbs-up to Teucrium’s Bitcoin futures ETF, which is the first such vehicle to be approved under the ’33 Act.
