The ETF will trade under the ticker IBTC and carry a management fee of 0.98%.<\/p>\n<p>Monochrome Asset Management, the issuer, offers the fund as a means for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin in a regulated framework. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/tags\/bitcoin-etf\">The ETF<\/a> tracks the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate index, providing exposure tied directly to the spot price of bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Cboe will become the first Australian exchange to list a bitcoin ETF, beating the larger Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) to the market. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/business\/first-bitcoin-etf-to-launch-in-australia-in-2024-bloomberg\">according to reports<\/a>, the ASX is also planning to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs before the year&#8217;s end.<\/p>\n<p>The launches tap into surging interest following the breakthrough regulatory approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/markets\/approved-spot-bitcoin-etfs-to-trade-on-us-markets-in-historic-milestone\">US market this January<\/a>. Those products ignited massive inflows from both institutional and retail investors.<\/p>\n<p>Australia is now poised to follow suit in offering investors easy and secure exposure to bitcoin without direct ownership. As a strictly passive ETF, IBTC removes the technical challenges of buying real Bitcoin while providing the return profile tied to bitcoin&#8217;s price.<\/p>\n<p>Regulated Bitcoin ETFs have launched this year across North America, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/business\/bitcoin-etps-get-approval-to-list-on-the-london-stock-exchange\">UK<\/a>, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Australia&#8217;s entrance reflects the broader embrace of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class.<\/p>\n<p>Other countries are likely to follow, with major markets now offering spot Bitcoin ETFs. The regulated wrapper provides legitimacy and gives investors a straightforward way to gain exposure.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/business\/australias-first-spot-bitcoin-etf-to-begin-trading-tomorrow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Australia is set to join the growing list of countries offering a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), with the launch of the country&#8217;s first<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227537"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
