On June 4, trading will commence for the spot Bitcoin ETF by Monochrome Asset Management on CBOE<\/span> Australia. This follows the issuer’s receipt of an AFS<\/span> license from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, reports Cointelegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) is the first and only product based on the leading cryptocurrency to be registered under the new crypto asset licensing category established in 2021.<\/p>\n

Monochrome stated that the fund’s assets are held in a solution that complies with “Australian regulatory standards for institutional custodial activities.”<\/p>\n

\n

“Before IBTC, local investors could only invest in ETFs that indirectly held Bitcoin or through offshore products not covered by AFS licensing protection,”<\/em> the Monochrome statement reads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unlike its counterparts in the US and Hong Kong, the company’s instrument allows for redemption in kind.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Monochrome CEO Jeff Yew expressed anticipation of “significant interest” in IBTC, given the sustained interest in digital gold-based products in recent months.<\/p>\n

The executive announced readiness to create and launch a spot ETF based on Ethereum.<\/p>\n

\n

“We are also exploring other opportunities in the cryptocurrency sector to meet investor demand,”<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yew estimated a net inflow into local spot BTC-ETFs of $3 billion to $4 billion within the first three years.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Bloomberg reported<\/a> that the ASX<\/span> might launch trading of spot Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds by the end of 2024. The platform is several times larger than CBOE Australia, leading issuers of new instruments to anticipate significantly higher inflows. <\/p>\n

Trading of IBTC in Australia will commence just over a month after the launch<\/a> of four spot BTC-ETFs in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
