- The product’s assets will be custodied by Komainu, a venture that launched about a year ago involving Nomura Holdings, CoinShares and Ledger.
- BITC will charge a 0.98% expense ratio and will be physically backed by bitcoin.
- Just last week, digital asset-backed securities developer ETC Group announced it would list a physically backed bitcoin ETP on SIX.
- ETC Group was the 34th ETP provider on the exchange, making CoinShares the 35th.
