New York, March 27, 2024 - Hashdex, a Brazil-based crypto asset management firm, has announced the launch of its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), bringing the total number of live Bitcoin ETFs to 11 since the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the bulk of fund applications in January.

纽约，2024 年 3 月 27 日 - 总部位于巴西的加密资产管理公司 Hashdex 宣布在纽约证券交易所（NYSE）推出其现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF），使活跃的总数量自美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 一月份批准大部分基金申请以来，比特币 ETF 数量已增至 11 只。

Initially launched in September 2022 as a Bitcoin Futures ETF under the ticker symbol 'DEFI,' Hashdex has converted its product to a spot Bitcoin ETF, offering investors direct market price exposure to the leading cryptocurrency.

Hashdex 最初于 2022 年 9 月作为比特币期货 ETF 推出，股票代码为“DEFI”，现已将其产品转换为现货比特币 ETF，为投资者提供领先加密货币的直接市场价格敞口。

Unique Approach within Spot ETF Landscape

现货 ETF 领域的独特方法

Unlike other spot Bitcoin ETFs, Hashdex has structured its product within the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and will continue to incorporate Bitcoin futures. This combination aims to provide investors with a balance of direct Bitcoin exposure and exposure to futures contracts.

与其他现货比特币 ETF 不同，Hashdex 在芝加哥商品交易所 (CME) 内构建了其产品，并将继续纳入比特币期货。这种组合旨在为投资者提供直接比特币敞口和期货合约敞口之间的平衡。

"Under normal market conditions, our investment policy prioritizes maximizing our holdings in physical Bitcoin, with the expectation that at least 95% of the fund's assets will be invested in spot Bitcoin," Hashdex stated in a press release. "Up to 5% of the remaining assets may be allocated to CME-traded Bitcoin futures contracts, cash, and cash equivalents."

Hashdex 在一份新闻稿中表示：“在正常的市场条件下，我们的投资政策优先考虑最大限度地持有实物比特币，预计至少 95% 的基金资产将投资于现货比特币。” “剩余资产中最多 5% 可能会分配给在 CME 交易的比特币期货合约、现金和现金等价物。”

"We are excited to complete this conversion and provide an innovative product that aligns with our mission of empowering individuals and institutions globally to access this groundbreaking innovation," said Hashdex's co-founder and CEO, Marcelo Sampaio.

Hashdex 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Marcelo Sampaio 表示：“我们很高兴能够完成这一转换，并提供一款创新产品，该产品符合我们的使命，即帮助全球个人和机构获得这一突破性创新。”

Prior SEC Approval Delays

此前 SEC 批准延迟

In January, the SEC approved ten spot Bitcoin ETFs from notable investment firms such as BlackRock, Bitwise, Grayscale, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, and ARK 21 Shares. While Hashdex had also filed an ETF application with the SEC, its registration statement was still under review when the other applications were approved, leading to a delay in the company's launch plans.

一月份，SEC 批准了来自 BlackRock、Bitwise、Grayscale、VanEck、Franklin Templeton 和 ARK 21 Shares 等著名投资公司的 10 只现货比特币 ETF。虽然Hashdex也向SEC提交了ETF申请，但当其他申请获得批准时，其注册声明仍在审查中，导致该公司的推出计划被推迟。

Effective Date and Regulatory Compliance

生效日期和监管合规性

"DEFI initially received its 19b-4 approval alongside other issuers, and this recent announcement signals the product's effectiveness and transition from a futures to a spot Bitcoin ETF," a Hashdex spokesperson clarified. "The fund's tracking of a new benchmark index became effective today, March 27, 2024."

Hashdex 发言人澄清说：“DEFI 最初与其他发行人一起获得了 19b-4 批准，最近的公告标志着该产品的有效性以及从期货到现货比特币 ETF 的过渡。” “该基金对新基准指数的跟踪于今天（2024 年 3 月 27 日）生效。”
