Valkyrie has been announced to be another firm following the path of ProShares. Recently, the United States has witnessed its first Bitcoin future exchange-traded product (ETF), as ProShares launched its Bitcoin Futures Strategy ETF. However, Valkyrie is another firm that has proposed to establish its ETF, and will soon follow ProShares’ path. Indeed, recently the news media outlet Bloomberg reported that the firm will list its crypto product on the platform of Nasdaq on Friday, October 22, 2021.

Certainly, the launch is essential for further affirmation that the US regulator is ready to collaborate with the industry. Indeed, the regulators are seeking to impose a ban prohibiting the use of such assets.

Valkyrie’s product will be similar to ProShares

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy fund tracks the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin Futures. Ultimately, the factor causes a difference in the price and performance of the crypto products from the asset’s actual real-time price. Likewise, Valkyrie Bitcoin Futures ETF will also track the price and performance of Bitcoin futures contracts.

However, according to Wald, the more product that comes to market, the more awareness spreads. Ultimately, an increment in the adoption of such assets will be witnessed.
