ASX-listed 1895 Limited company has received ASX’s approval to launch the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund in Australia. Van ECK’s Bitcoin Exchange Traded Product (VBTC) will be launched in the market to start trading on June 20. This ETF is offered by VanEck investment company by which the firm launched VanEck Ethereum Vectors Trust also known as VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL) in the United States in January.
Read CRYPTONEWSLAND onVanEck’s CEO Asia-Pacific, Arian Neiron, noted that it was a necessity to get exposure to bitcoin in Australia. Regarding Bitcoin, Neiron underscored that a range of advisers and investors want to get exposure to the asset through a licensed, transparent, and well-understood product type. The VBTC takes care of the cohort arising out of investment in Bitcoin through offering to buy, store, and safeguard the investments.
The greenlighting of the VanEck bitcoin ETF is a definite positive for both the ASX and the Australian financial market in particular. The general manager of investment products of ASX, Andrew Campion pointed out the growing demands advisers and investors show toward Bitcoin investments. Campion said that there are mixed feelings toward cryptocurrencies but noted that appreciation in prices has witnessed high interest in the past year culminating in the approval of ETF with sufficient demand. It is important to note that this is not the first attempt to get the utilization of the Bitcoin ETF in Australia.
Some of the other BTC linked ETFs, have been launched in the country within the past two years. More to that, within the first year of its launch, the Global X’s Bitcoin ETF garnered an impressive performance of 153%. research Morningstar considers it has delivered a 5% return in 12 months placing it atop among the listed ETFs in Australia. This I believe is a strong performance for the entire crypto market overall industry since most other coins have risen in value significantly.
Other than VBTC, Australian Monochrome Bitcoin ETF was launched on June 4 on the Australian CBOE platform that is managed by Sydney-based Monochrome Asset Management. Other companies such as BetaShares Holdings Pty and DigitalX Ltd are also planning to have a list of Bitcoin ETFs in the ASX, pointing out the increasing interest in Bitcoin investment.
This has caused other nations such as the United States of America to influence other countries like the United States of America, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Australia to pursue the development of similar investment products such as spot Bitcoin ETFs. With the ever-growing population embracing cryptocurrencies for investments, the authorization of spot Bitcoin ETFs on the ASX will promote the expansion of the cryptocurrency market in Australia.
