Fidelity launches Bitcoin Spot ETF in Canada



While the application process was still ongoing, many experts believed that it was more than likely that a spot Bitcoin ETF would still not be approved in the USA. In the end, this assessment was confirmed when the planned Bitcoin Spot ETF was rejected by VanEck. VanEck stepped up and launched a futures-based ETF shortly afterward, but that’s not the same in the end.

In neighboring Canada, people have been much more open to cryptocurrencies for a while. The Purpose Bitcoin ETF launched there in February 2021 is just one of many products that are available on the market and invest directly in cryptocurrencies. It seems like the Fidelity house has run out of patience to try it in the US and is relocating its investment product instead.

In fact, it is not foreseeable that the US Securities and Exchange Commission will give way in the near future. So it looks like the US is sidelining itself with its restrictive stance on the issue. Fidelity is by no means a flyweight at over $ 4 trillion AUM, so the latest move in Bitcoin Spot ETF speaks volumes.

What makes the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF different?

Bitcoin ETFs based on futures do not buy or hold BTC from the market, but rather simulate the performance of Bitcoin. Therefore, the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF is much more interesting in certain respects. Because it is not gambled with Bitcoin, but BTC is bought and hoarded.

On the one hand, this aspect meets the preferences of certain investors, on the other hand, one can also hope for a positive effect on the market. The more Bitcoin is bought by Fidelity, the less it might be available on the market. Since digital gold will become increasingly scarce in the future and a very large community of traders does not want to part with Bitcoin, one can speculate that such an ETF could have an impact on the price.

The prerequisite for this, however, is that the ETF is also complete success and is well received by investors. If you are really interested in Bitcoin, you should find out very quickly that the biggest advantage is being able to store BTC yourself and exercise full control over it.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
