Volatility Shares Trust, a firm known for providing investors with exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to equity market volatility and cryptocurrencies, is set to debut a new investment vehicle that will provide investors with indirect exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC). The product is scheduled to debut on June 27 but is pending approval from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Het is belangrijk om hier te vermelden dat Volatility Shares Trust officieel is gearchiveerd Formulier 8-A met de SEC op 23 juni. De SEC staat erom bekend de afgelopen jaren meerdere Bitcoin- en crypto-gerelateerde exchange-traded funds neer te schieten. De indiening bevestigde ook dat een aanvraag om de aandelen van de 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF te noteren, is ingediend bij en goedgekeurd door de Cboe BZX Exchange.

The investment product has been listed under the ticker BITX and would offer leveraged exposure to Bitcoin corresponding to two times the daily performance of the S&P CME Bitcoin Futures Daily Roll Index. Bloomberg ETF expert Eric Balchunas noted that he did not think such an ETF’s approval was possible but added that this could be an early sign of the SEC lightening up on crypto assets.

De 2x bitcoin-ETF $BITX has become effective, scheduled to launch Tuesday. I was doubtful it would happen but looks like it’s official. Could this be early sign of SEC lightening up? After $BITO lancering Ik geloof dat ze eerder 2x filers hebben laten intrekken pic.twitter.com/XXxSt9xypu

The official website of Volatility Trust Shares noted that the plan for the investment product is to start trading on June 27 but added that the registration statement “has not yet become effective.”

Interestingly, in a separate filing of Form N-1A with the SEC for listing shares of the leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF on the CBOE BZX Exchange, it was revealed that neither the SEC nor the CFTC had “approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus.”

In een verklaring aan een crypto-gericht mediakanaal, een woordvoerder van Volatility Shares Trust gezegd: 

“We cannot comment on what the SEC may or may not do. What we can say is that the registration statement is now effective, and, in accordance with SEC regulations, we are planning to list BITX for trading.”

As reported earlier by Bitnation, the SEC has rejected multiple Bitcoin spot ETFs, including Grayscale’s request for the conversion of its flagship product GBTC into a BTC spot ETF. Nevertheless, the investment management firm announced a new business arm named the Grayscale Funds Trust along with registration filings for drie nieuwe crypto-ETF's met de SEC te midden van toenemende spanningen tussen de twee entiteiten.
