What’s Happening in the ETF Sector?
In related ETF news, Australia’s largest exchange ASX listed its first spot Bitcoin ETF fund on June 20. The VanEck Bitcoin ETF operates as a feeder fund investing in the VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL) listed in the US, providing an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin. Despite the presence of spot crypto ETF funds since 2022, the addition of the Bitcoin fund to ASX appears to reflect efforts to catch up with the crypto ETF momentum in the US and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, US ETF issuers are working to launch the country’s first spot Ethereum fund group. According to two sources, issuers received comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission last week regarding S-1 forms for Ethereum ETF funds. Institutions are currently working to resubmit the revised forms by the night of June 21.
