Volatility Shares Trust lançará um novo veículo de investimento em Bitcoin
- A Volatility Shares Trust planeja lançar um novo produto de investimento focado em Bitcoin na Cboe BZX Exchange.
- O produto foi listado sob o ticker BITX e registrado como o 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF.
- As ações da BITX devem estrear em 27 de junho.
- The Bitcoin investment vehicle’s registration statement “has not yet become effective.”
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).
É importante mencionar aqui que a Volatility Shares Trust oficialmente arquivado Formulário 8-A com a SEC em 23 de junho. A SEC é conhecida por derrubar vários Bitcoin e fundos negociados em bolsa relacionados a criptomoedas nos últimos anos. O arquivamento também confirmou que um pedido para listar as ações do 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF foi arquivado e aprovado pela 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.
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.”
Em uma declaração enviada a um meio de comunicação focado em cripto, um porta-voz da Volatility Shares Trust disse:
“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 três novos ETFs cripto com a SEC em meio a crescentes tensões entre as duas entidades.
