Valkyrieâs Bitcoin futures ETF will go live on Nasdaq just a few days after ProShares debuted a similar product on NYSE.
Valkyrieâs Bitcoin (BTC) futures-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) is poised to follow the launch of ProSharesâ Bitcoin Strategy ETF on Friday.
Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF is finally effective and is set to start trading on Nasdaq under the ticker BTF on Friday, Valkyrie confirmed to Cointelegraph on Thursday.
The launch comes after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission granted a notice of effectiveness to Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF on Thursday.
According to Leah Wald, CEO of Valkyrie Funds, the upcoming launch of Valkyrieâs Bitcoin futures ETF marks an important milestone in the relationship between the cryptocurrency industry and U.S. regulators.
âThis launch is important because itâs further affirmation that U.S. regulators want to collaborate with the industry to regulate crypto assets rather than ban them,â she said.
âThe more products that come to market, the more awareness they bring and, hopefully, more adoption. There are of course other filings for similar products, and it would make sense for them to come to market,â Wald added.
