This is the second cryptocurrency exchange traded fund to be approved by CVM. In June, the regulator granted permission to QR Asset Management to create a Bitcoin ETF.
Currently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering applications for the creation of Bitcoin ETF from ARK Invest , One River , VanEck and Fidelity . The US regulator has not yet approved a single cryptocurrency exchange traded fund.
