On this week’s episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE, host Chris Galeski invites Chief Investment Officer Meghan Pinchuk to discuss Bitcoin ETFs that have recently been approved by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).
They discuss Bitcoin’s similarities to gold, particularly its role as a potential store of value as opposed to fiat currencies, while also noting Bitcoin’s relatively short history and high volatility compared to gold’s long-standing stability.
Meghan and Chris also consider the technological complexities associated with direct Bitcoin ownership, including private keys and the irreversible nature of losing them. Therefore, the emergence of Bitcoin ETFs is a significant development as they offer easier access to Bitcoin’s price movements through regulated, mainstream financial instruments.
Although Morton is not currently investing in these ETFs, we are still watching these trends closely and speaking with managers to see which ETFs are most structurally sound and gaining adoption in the market.
