The Australian Securities Exchange has approved its first spot Bitcoin ETF, set to begin trading on June 20. This move marks a significant milestone in Australia's cryptocurrency market.
ASX Approves VanEck Bitcoin ETF, Reflecting Growing Acceptance and Legitimacy of Cryptocurrencies
According to Cointelegraph, The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the largest stock exchange in Australia, has made a significant move in the cryptocurrency market. It has approved the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), further solidifying its position as a critical player in the market. Trading for the ETF is scheduled to begin on June 20.
The VanEck Bitcoin ETF (VBTC) will be issued by the investment firm VanEck, as indicated in a press release shared with Cointelegraph. This announcement came mere months after the organization was granted authorization to commence trading spot Bitcoin ETFs, specifically the VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL), in the United States on January 11.
The surging demand for Bitcoin exposure in Australia is a clear testament to the country's escalating embrace of cryptocurrencies, as underscored by Arian Neiron, the chief executive officer of VanEck in the Asia-Pacific region.
“We recognize Bitcoin is an emerging asset class that many advisers and investors want to access,” Neiron said.
“VBTC not only democratizes Bitcoin, but it also simplifies the process by managing all the back-end complexities. The need to comprehend the technical aspects of acquiring, storing, and securing digital assets is now a thing of the past,” he further explained.
The ASX has approved a spot Bitcoin ETF for the first time; however, two other Bitcoin ETFs have been launched in Australia within the last two years.
