The hot topic that investors in the cryptocurrency community have been focusing on recently is whether the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will allow Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January. Bitcoin ETFs are innovative financial products that combine traditional finance with virtual assets. In response to the attention from investors regarding Bitcoin ETFs and to understand the latest developments in the industry and regulation, the China Academy of Financial Research and Development and the Bitcoin and Virtual Currency Development Association will co-host the “Bitcoin ETF – 2024 Innovation and Derivative Product Regulatory Strategy Forum” on January 17th (Wednesday) at the South Bank of the China Academy of Financial Research and Development. The Bitcoin ETF Forum is strongly supported by ACE Fiat Digital Currency Exchange, BitoEX Group, MaiCoin Group, XREX Exchange, cacaFly Santec, and the National Bar Association’s Digital Economy and FinTech Committee, and they will also serve as co-organizers.
Bitcoin ETFs are innovations in financial products. With the increasing popularity of Bitcoin and other virtual assets, investors and financial institutions are paying more and more attention to the market potential of these new investment tools. Bitcoin ETFs combine traditional ETFs with the virtual asset market, providing investors with a relatively convenient way to participate in the virtual asset market. Almost all governments, investment institutions, professionals, and investors around the world are closely following the development of Bitcoin ETFs. Regulatory agencies in various countries are also evaluating how to provide appropriate regulatory frameworks for Bitcoin ETFs while protecting the interests of investors. On the other hand, market participants are speculating on which countries may approve Bitcoin ETFs and how their approval will affect the global virtual asset market.
