Valkyrie Funds’ second bitcoin ETF ($ BTF) went live on Nasdaq yesterday and became the second bitcoin ETF to gain SEC approval after ProShares $ BITO listed for the first time on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) introduced 3 days ago. Valkyrie’s $ BTF will track the value of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) only.

“The introduction of funds like the Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF represents an important milestone for crypto derivatives and will greatly complement futures and create new opportunities for many institutional and private investors.”
