In a groundbreaking move, Valkyrie, a major player in finance, is taking the lead in the ETF space by launching a new Bitcoin and Ether Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) earlier than expected.
They have submitted a Form 497 outlining their plan to transform their existing fund, $BTF, into this innovative dual ETF.
Their goal is to beat 13 other competitors in the race for ETF dominance, as per Eric Balchunas, an ETF Analyst from Bloomberg. The launch, originally scheduled for October 3rd, aims to redefine the landscape of crypto funds.
INTERESTING: Valkyrie just filed a 497 that they plan to convert $BTF into a Bitcoin + Ether ETF on Oct 3rd, which would would be two wks ahead of the other 13 filers scheduled launch. We'll see if this flies. Something similar happened back in day with $MJ, the first pot ETF https://t.co/Ypnien30ED pic.twitter.com/W9WiU2xc0W

In a calculated gamble, Valkyrie aims to redefine the trajectory of its current fund rather than creating a new entity. While this tactic has raised eyebrows, market experts speculate that sticking to the designated timeline may be inevitable. Drawing parallels with historical maneuvers, this strategy brings to mind the first pot ETF, $MJ, which successfully employed a similar approach to take the lead, as commented by Balchunas.
Valkyrie’s Bold Move in the ETF Landscape
In a noteworthy development, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently approved the assessment of Valkyrie’s second-spot Bitcoin ETF submission. This comes shortly after the SEC’s approval of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF application on July 13th, signaling increased interest in ETF proposals from the regulatory body.
Athanasios Psarofagis, a prominent figure in finance, has praised the impressive performance of the Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF, declaring it the star performer of 2023. With assets under management reaching an astonishing $24 million as of July 27th, the fund has seen a remarkable 261% year-to-date return, making headlines in the financial world.

As Valkyrie makes its bold move, becoming the first to clear the hurdle if approved by the SEC, the market dynamics become more exciting with the early debut of the Bitcoin and Ether ETF. The proactive approach from the SEC and Valkyrie’s creative strategy could pave the way for a revolutionary period in the world of ETFs, particularly as the crypto space continues to evolve.
When analyzing the top 10 ETFs of the year, a striking trend emerges: all of them are related to cryptocurrencies or digital assets. This clear pattern underscores the significant surge that cryptocurrencies have experienced in 2023 and reflects the strong and increasing interest in this market.
