We are disappointed in today’s update from the SEC declining approval of our physical bitcoin ETF. We believe that investors should be able to gain #BTC exposure through a regulated fund and that a non-futures ETF structure is the superior approach. @tyler @gaborgurbacs

I appreciate that many bitcoin ETFs are coming to market tomorrow. One way to decide which ETF to use is to consider the commitment of the sponsors.👇

5/ When U.S. spending was out of control in the 1960’s, my father launched the first gold share fund in the U.S., even though gold had been pegged against the dollar for about 190 years. Investing in gold bullion was illegal at the time. Three years later, the peg broke.
