Valkyrie Investments, a crypto-focused asset manager, bitcoin filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot ETF.
A Bitcoin spot ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the price of BTC and allows investors to buy and sell shares of the fund on traditional exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Unlike the Bitcoin futures ETF, which relies on contracts on the future price of BTC, the spot ETF will hold real Bitcoins and reflect their current market value.
It has been learned that the ticker of the Bitcoin spot ETF applied by Valkyrie Investments will be “BRRR”. This is actually the Fed chairman, Jerome Powell. cryptocurrency may be referring to the unlimited power to print money with the sound of “BRRR” humorously by its investors.

The ETF applied for is targeted to be traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
However, the SEC has been reluctant to approve a Bitcoin spot ETF, citing concerns about market manipulation, fraud, and investor protection in the underlying BTC market. The agency has rejected several applications for a spot ETF in the past, including one from VanEck in March 2023.
