Fresh Bitcoin ETF Application by Former Gold Fund Manager

Kryptoin Investment Advisors, an asset managing corporation in Delaware has submitted a proposal to roll out a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Bitcoin ETF
In the documentation released by the SEC, it was pointed out that the fresh Bitcoin ETF Trust by Kryptoin will be sold on the New York Stock Exchange Arca. Based on the application, the ETF is structured to allow for exposure to Bitcoin at an amount identical to the real amount of the digital currency. Customers can trade Bitcoin at a lower value than that of the Trust’s systems.

The corporation intends to acquire Bitcoin and price the shares of the Trust following the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Bitcoin Reference Rate. The security is going to be kept with an anonymous third-party certified keeper. This keeper will be legislated following the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The documentation by the SEC detailed that the Trust must be invested in Bitcoin to make sure that the amount of the Trust’s shares is mirroring the real Bitcoin market. Although the Trust is not permitted to trade Bitcoin directly instead, they can attain it from shares termed “baskets”. The documentation also stated that if the Trust wants to exchange or redeem its shares, it would have to do so in agreements of 100,000 shares (baskets) at the net asset value (NAV) of the Trust. Redemption and buying of Shares are limited to Authorised Purchasers alone. These Purchasers can do so by providing Bitcoin to the Trust to swap for shares at any time they buy shares.

More On Kryptoin
One of the most important facts about Kryptoin is its leader. It is headed by Jason Toussaint who is a previous Managing Director of the World Gold Council and an ex Asset Manager of SPDR Gold Shares, which is one of the biggest Gold ETFs on the planet.

Interestingly, the quest to roll out an approved Bitcoin ETF has become a heated contest. Sometime this month, it was discovered that Wilshire Phoenix Fund revised its Bitcoin ETF which was recorded with the SEC. Still in this month, NYSE Arca in collaboration with Bitwise, an asset management firm, affirmed their intent to reapply their proposal for a Bitcoin ETF after their previous application got thrown out by SEC.
