The first Bitcoin ETF from ProShares under the ticker BITO started trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is a landmark event for the cryptocurrency industry.

ETF BITO from ProShares

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has listed the first-ever Bitcoin ETF issued by ProShares. The launch of the ETF under the ticker BITO has been approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

BITO is a futures ETF, the value of which is calculated from the closing prices of Bitcoin futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). When trading with this instrument, trading participants do not influence the spot value of Bitcoin, but only invest in the dynamics of its price.

Yet, Bitcoin ETFs are already in high demand and will continue to attract new entrants from the traditional market to the cryptocurrency market. The emergence of a regulated instrument on US exchanges in the long term will help the development of the industry and the adoption of cryptocurrencies in most countries of the world.
