As per the statement issued by the company on Tuesday, July 9, the DigitalX Bitcoin ETF will be listed on the ASX Exchange later this month on July 12 under the ticker BTXX. for this upcoming Bitcoin ETF, DigitalX will join hands with K2 Asset Management and 3iQ.
As said, the recent listing of ETF by DigitalX comes within a month of VanEck making an arrival on ASX in June. Additionally, Sydney-based fund manager BetaShares Holdings Pty has applied to launch Bitcoin and Ether ETFs on the ASX. Speaking on the development, Lisa Wade, chief executive officer of DigitalX said:
“I believe this will attract new entrants into the market and ultimately allow institutions to include Bitcoin and digital assets into strategic asset allocations. That’s really why we did it, but that is a much longer game.”
Listing on the ASX Exchange is a major milestone, as it can usher in more liquidity and trading volume for the Bitcoin ETFs. Bloomberg predicted that VanEck Bitcoin ETF on ASX could attract $1 billion in inflows.
