Operating as a feeder fund, the VanEck Bitcoin ETF invests in the U.S.-listed VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL) to expose bitcoin. Though spot crypto ETFs since 2022, the inclusion of the bitcoin fund in ASX apparently represents attempts to meet the crypto ETF momentum in the United States and Hong Kong.
U.S. ETF issuers are meanwhile striving for the release of the first batch of spot ether funds for their nation. Two sources claim that last week issuers got remarks from the Securities and Exchange Commission on the S-1 forms for ETFs. These days, they are trying to return the changed paperwork by Friday.
