This week will be the two month "birthday" of the launch of a Bitcoin ETF. Well, actually on the 18th to be precise (the Pro Shares Bitcoin ETF launched October 18th). And, actually, the ETF holds only futures not actual spot Bitcoin. AND, actually actually, it's not going well. To be fair, it has not been a good two months for the actual "physical" spot Bitcoin either. But a futures based ETF will always underperform a product that directly holds physical assets. Thank you, SEC.

Keep in mind that these newly listed Bitcoin ETFs do NOT actually hold Bitcoin, but rather Bitcoin FUTURES, and specifically, futures traded on the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) which settle monthly in cash. In other words, these new ETFs will never actually hold Bitcoins. How will this affect Bitcoin trading, settlement and, most importantly, how the ETFs will trade? Again, who knows. Its a brand new world.

always chasing cars actually caught one. Well the "dog" (ProShares) just caught its coveted Bitcoin ETF, sort of. It's a Bitcoin FUTURES ETF. Big difference. But, at least at long last, the SEC finally approved a Bitcoin "flavored" Exchange Traded Fund, well then, yippee!

Bitcoin ETF just rushed over to door number two. Yells of "let me in" are getting very loud. So what's behind door number two? Bitcoin futures. Recently the SEC dropped hints they MAY be receptive to ETFs that will trade in bitcoin futures rather than the cryptocurrency itself. Thus the stampede and excitement got all the management firm's juices flowing.

Here we are well past the halfway mark of 2021 and, once again, debates are popping up on when, or if, there will be a U.S. regulated Bitcoin ETF. Different time, same question. Will the SEC approve a BTC ETF? Will they not approve a BTC ETF? Or better yet, WHY won't they approve that coveted ETF? Yes, why oh why?

Within the last few months Fidelity Investments, Grayscale Investments LLC, WisdomTree, CBOE/VanEck, NYDIG Asset Management, Valkyrie Digital Assets and SkyBridge Capital have all filed with the SEC to launch a Bitcoin ETF
