The Story Behind our ETF: A Discussion between FinMag and Melanion
FinMag recently featured a compelling discussion with Ghali Laraqui, director of Melanion Capital, about the story of our Bitcoin Equities ETF. In this interview, Ghali explores the complexities of creating an ETF that offers indirect yet regulated exposure to Bitcoin for European investors. They delve into how Melanion Capital navigated strict UCITS regulations to design a product that balances investment opportunities with compliance.
In the full article, Ghali analyzes the challenges faced by asset managers when attempting to launch innovative financial products. They highlight the intricate differences between European and U.S. regulations, and illustrate how, instead of directly buying Bitcoin, investors can focus on the “shovels” of the industry, companies that mine Bitcoin and those that facilitate its growth, much like those who got rich by selling shovels during the gold rush.
