The first one up with the final deadline is VanEck the 23rd of May. We're assuming either all ETFs get accepted or they don't, similar to how the #Bitcoin ones went.
But technically we could see rejections for the smaller issuers only to decide on the Blackrock & Fidelity ones in August. Doubt that's a likely scenario but it's definitely possible.
Maybe the other issuers can even refile after getting rejected in May to still join the party in August regardless?
That scenario still get all the ETFs through at once + Keep Larry Fink's ETF approval record alive. But only by August.
#intocryptoverse #ETH / #BTC is still bleeding similar to its path in 2019. I overlaid when the Fed cut rates and QE began in 2019 so you can see how the ETH/BTC ratio behaved around those events.
For traditional investors, Bitcoin ETFs simplify entry into the cryptocurrency market, avoiding the technicalities of crypto wallets and blockchain. You can be excused from managing wallets with Bitcoins, navigating online crypto exchanges, or grappling with private and public keys. Removing such technical hurdles simplifies the investing decision into Bitcoin, making it a more attractive proposition for those accustomed to traditional investments.
ETFs in general are subject to regulatory scrutiny, offering a layer of security and peace of mind for investors wary of the unregulated crypto space. When purchasing bitcoins outright, you might be doing so without the backing of clear, standardized regulations. Spot bitcoin ETFs are subject to rules that ensure transparency and protect investors.
Cons of Bitcoin Spot ETF
When you purchase ETFs, you don't own the underlying Bitcoin, thus limiting your control over your investment. The Bitcoins held in the ETF are all under custodial ownership, which means if the custodian were to suffer from a security breach or loss of access, it would greatly affect the investors holding the ETFs.
While investing in spot bitcoin ETFs could save you the time and costs of exchanging and securing Bitcoins yourself, these ETFs do charge management fees or expense ratios to cover operational costs, diminishing your returns over time. These fees can be higher than traditional equity ETFs because the ETF must also pay fees for the trading and custodial fees of the exchange.
Is Bitcoin Spot ETF for me?
The Bitcoin Spot ETFs represent a significant evolution in cryptocurrency, offering a regulated and simplified way to gain exposure to bitcoin’s prices. However, convenience does comes additional costs with management fees.
In my subsequent post, I will be sharing about the pros and cons of purchasing Bitcoins from a cryptocurrency exchange. If you have any questions regarding the Bitcoin Spot ETF, do drop it in the comments!
