Bitcoin has been one of the best-performing asset classes on a 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year basis, both absolute and risk-adjusted. Given BTC’s historical track record and future potential, along with its portfolio diversification properties, we are looking forward to offering investors exposure to the asset class in an easy-to-use, low-cost ETF.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US rejected several bids for Bitcoin ETF in the last few years. In 2018, the SEC rejected the Bitcoin ETF attempt by the Winkelvoss twins. In February 2020, the SEC rejected Wilshire Phoenix’s bid for a bitcoin-based exchange-traded fund (ETF). Canada’s stance on Bitcoin and other crypto-assets has been a little different from the US. The latest filing by Accelerate Financial shows that the Canada-based companies are trying to offer Bitcoin-related investment products under a clear regulatory environment.
