Match Made in Heaven? Crypto Investors to Benefit from Partnership

The team behind the first regulated bitcoin hedge fund and exchange traded Bitcoin has just made another move that significantly affects crypto investments.

“This launch marks an inflection point – maturity is really the word that comes to mind here. In the last 3 years, we have seen bitcoin go from a confusing topic in board rooms to a hotly debated investment strategy; consequently, our offering of products has grown to suit this changing environment.”

Let’s go over what this means for investors.

The players

Coming together

This is particularly important as more assets mature in the space, and more investors demand more exposure. This is about giving those investors a standard and brand they can trust as we enter this next phase of crypto-investment, Masters said.

One of GABI’s missions is to expose Bitcoin price movements to help investors manage the risks that come along with investing in the cryptocurrency. It boasts having a proven track record managing the risks and inherent volatility while outperforming the US Dollar Bitcoin index over the long term.

Meeting the demand

These professionals team to offer research on investing long- and short-term, as well as trading digital currencies. The thought is that large retail brokerages will continue to offer their clients access to Bitcoin exposure through two of its exchange traded Bitcoin notes that are issued by XBT Provider AB.

Activity among retail brokerages has been especially on the uptick in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Denmark.

“We have seen a futures market form, leverage layers deepen and merchant adoption increase. In the last 18 months, at least 15 cryptocurrency ‘funds’ hit the market and at least 5 crypto-based investment products are currently pending review with regulators in the U.S. and elsewhere.”
