Bitcoin Tracker One ETN Now Trading Worldwide via Interactive Brokers

Last month Bitcoin Magazine reported that Bitcoin Tracker One, the first Bitcoin-based security available on a regulated exchange, started trading on Nasdaq Stockholm. Now, Bitcoin Tracker One, a product launched by the Swedish company XBT Provider AB, is available to investors in 179 countries via Interactive Brokers.

Bitcoin Tracker One is an “Exchange Traded Note” (ETN) designed to provide investors with convenient access to the returns of the underlying asset, U.S. dollar (USD) per bitcoin, less investor fees. The average dollar exchange rate of bitcoin from the exchanges Bitfinex, Bitstamp and OKCoin provides the underlying reference price. A detailed breakdown of the value of Bitcoin Tracker One is given here.Interactive Brokers LLC (IB) is a U.S.-based online discount brokerage firm. It is the largest U.S. online brokerage firm by number of daily average revenue trades, as well as the leading foreign exchange broker. The company is a provider of fully disclosed and nondisclosed broker accounts and provides correspondent clearing services to 200 introducing brokers worldwide. The company allows account holders to trade on more than 100 market centers in 24 countries, with direct market access to stocks, options, futures, forex, bonds, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and contracts for difference (CFDs) from a single IB Universal Account.

“We are very proud to be the second-most traded ETN on Nasdaq Nordic today, and more interest is coming every day and I believe that people are very happy to finally be able to invest in Bitcoin (i.e the ETN) through a regulated exchange,” Alexander Marsh, chief executive officer of XBT Provider, told Bitcoin Magazine. “The fact that a world-famous broker like Interactive Brokers has added the instrument to their offering is really great. Ticker code COINXBT.”

Bitcoin Tracker One could become an attractive investment option for those traditional investors who want to speculate on the exchange rate of bitcoin with traditional investment vehicles, rather than going through the hassle of buying and holding bitcoin directly. In particular, traditional financial instruments such as Bitcoin Tracker One offer easy ways to short bitcoin and profit from price drops.

“We are proud to offer the world’s first ‘Bitcoin tracker’ to be traded on a regulated exchange,” said Marsh when Bitcoin Tracker One was first announced. “By enabling this easy and secure way to invest in Bitcoin we hope to have eliminated the boundaries that earlier prevented individuals and companies from being able to actively invest in what we believe to be the future of money.”

Bitcoin ETN issuer XBT Provider to distribute BCH value to investors

It was announced today by the Board of Directors of XBT Provider AB, an issuer of bitcoin Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) which trade on Nasdaq Stockholm that the investment company would distribute the appropriate amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to ETN holders from the August 1st fork event.

This decision came in accordance with its previously announced policy where there would be a 3 month “observation period” in which XBT would evaluate along with the guarantor of the notes how the value created from the Bitcoin Cash fork may be distributed.

The XBT board reiterates that investors in the bitcoin ETNs are not holders of bitcoin. As disclosed, the notes synthetically track the price of bitcoin (and not any alternative coin which results from a forking, split or any other event and which shares a common transaction history prior to the fork). However, a hedging arrangement exists between XBT and group companies of the guarantor of the notes, Global Advisors (Jersey) Limited, recently merged together as part of the newly formed CoinShares group. Those group companies of the guarantor hold bitcoin to support XBT’s issued notes.

Notwithstanding, XBT and the guarantor have no legal requirement to distribute any value created from a fork (including the BCH fork) (other than any enhanced performance of the coin which remains as ‘bitcoin’). Thus in good faith, XBT wishes to pass such value created (or as much thereof as is practicable) through to the holders of its bitcoin ETNs at the time of the fork.

Following detailed discussions during the “observation period” with various settlement and clearing third-party service providers and key structured products advisors, the board of XBT has concluded that the most appropriate action to take to give effect to the aforementioned policy position is to implement a cash distribution plan for those investors holding bitcoin ETN notes at the opening of trading on August 1st.

To prepare for the implementation of this distribution plan, the guarantor and its affiliate companies have been divesting themselves of BCH, whenever it has been possible using existing liquidity pools and exchanges that offered BCH to their venues. The proceeds yielded therefrom, less the costs of implementing and administering the distribution plan will be available for remittance for the benefit of the holders of XBT’s bitcoin ETNs at the opening of trading on August 1st. Individuals and/or brokers may be required to provide additional identification / ‘know your customer’ information in order to be able to receive a distribution.

The policy of XBT Provider, as stated previously by the company, remains to consider the appropriate action to take in light of each fork event on a case-by-case basis. What is appropriate in the context of one fork may not be advisable in the context of a different fork.

Accordingly, the cash distribution plan to be implemented in connection with the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fork, as referred to herein, should not be regarded as setting a definitive precedent for the action which XBT Provider may take on the occurrence of any future fork.

Bitcoin Tracker One ETN Starts Trading on Nasdaq Stockholm

Two weeks ago XBT Provider AB announced the authorization of Bitcoin Tracker One, the first Bitcoin-based security available on a regulated exchange. Today, Bitcoin Tracker One started trading on Nasdaq Stockholm.

“NASDAQ OMX Stockholm decides to officially list 1 Exchange Traded Note issued by XBT Provider AB with effect from 2015-05-18,” announced XBT Provider AB on Friday. “We are proud to offer the world’s first “Bitcoin tracker” to be traded on a regulated exchange,” states the XBT Provider website. “By enabling this easy and secure way to invest in Bitcoin we hope to have eliminated the boundaries that earlier prevented individuals and companies from being able to actively invest in what we believe to be the future of money.”

“The world’s first Bitcoin-based security on a regulated exchange has been launched in Sweden,” notes the Swedish edition of the English language news site The Local. “The digital currency began trading on the Stockholm market on Monday.”

Bitcoin Tracker One is an “Exchange Traded Note” (ETN) designed to provide investors with convenient access to the returns of the underlying asset, U.S. dollar (USD) per bitcoin, less investor fees. The average dollar exchange rate of bitcoin from the exchanges Bitfinex, Bitstamp and OKCoin provides the underlying reference price. A detailed breakdown of the value of Bitcoin Tracker One is given here.

“Young guys will probably buy it. Bitcoin stands for a new digital world, free from the banking system. It’s almost somewhat political,” savings analyst Claes Hemberg of the Avanza bank told Swedish news wire TT.

The ETN could become an attractive investment option for those traditional investors who want to speculate on the dollar exchange rate of bitcoin with traditional investment vehicles, rather than going through the hassle of buying and holding bitcoin directly. In particular, traditional financial instruments such as Bitcoin Tracker One offer easy ways to short bitcoin and profit from price drops. However, all investments are risky, and this is no exception.

“You shouldn’t put more money towards bitcoin than you would bet on a horse race. You can win, but also lose everything,” Hemberg warned.

Other similar bitcoin investment vehicles are Barry Silbert’s Bitcoin Investment Trust (BIT), now trading on the OTC Markets Group’s OTCQX exchange with the symbol GBTC, and the upcoming Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust ETF (Exchange Traded Fund), which will be available to investors on NASDAQ with the ticker COIN.

XBT Provider AB (publ) is a public limited liability company formed in Sweden and incorporated under Swedish law, with statutory seat in Stockholm. The XBT Provider website states that the company is backed and guaranteed by bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer and service provider KnCGroup. The Local notes that KnCGroup, which had racked up $75 million in turnover in around eight months after its launch in June 2013, opened a new data hub in northern Sweden last year, just a stone’s throw from Facebook’s European data center.

Sweden's Nasdaq Exchange Approves Bitcoin-based ETN

Sweden's Nasdaq exchange has approved a bitcoin-based exchange traded note (ETN), opening up investment in the digital currency to those who do not want to directly purchase and hold bitcoins.

The Bitcoin Tracker One, launched by Stockholm-based XBT Provider AB, which is owned by the KnC Group and is expected to launch on 18th May.

In a statement, Alexander Marsh, chief executive officer of XBT Provider AB, said:

"By enabling this easy and secure way to invest in bitcoin we hope to have eliminated the boundaries that earlier prevented individuals and companies from being able to actively invest in what we believe to be the future of money."

A spokesperson for Nasdaq confirmed that XBT Provider AB had been approved as a certificate issuer and that its product was the first bitcoin-based item to be listed on the Swedish exchange.

How it works

According to XBT Provider AB's website, the bitcoin ETN is traded in the same way as all other listed instruments on the Nasdaq exchange.

In order to invest, users must have an account obtained through their bank, advisor or online broker.

XTB Provider AB will hedge all sales of the bitcoin traded note by buying an equal value in the bitcoin market.

Johan Wattenström, head of trading at KnCMiner and partner at XBT Provider AB, said:

"We are aiming to do all hedging in the open market but have the option to access bitcoin liquidity from KnC Group in case of an emergency."

When asked about its security procedures, Wattenström said the company had implemented a "secure multi-layer process for handling and safekeeping bitcoins".

He also referred to the company's safety policy, which states: "A small part of the holdings can be kept on bitcoin exchanges, if deemed necessary additional coins can be held on a multi-signature hot wallet and all holdings over a threshold must be kept in safe storage."

Community Reaction

Joakim Herlin-Ljunglof, marketing manager at Stockholm-based bitcoin exchange BTCX, commented on the approval, noting how it could impact the discussions between companies operating in the bitcoin space and traditional banks, regulators and investors. He added:

"It is really cool that my country and city is, apparently, the first in the world to do this."

The news also struck a chord with the international cryptocurrency ecosystem. Dr Timo Schlaefer, co-founder and CEO of Crypto Facillities, a London-based broker specialising in bitcoin derivatives, said:

"I think that it would be very useful for investors as it removes the need to go out and buy and store bitcoin directly, which requires a good understanding of how to handle bitcoins. It also opens up the market to investors who require exchange traded products or may not be allowed to hold bitcoins for regulatory or compliance reasons."

Wattenström said XBT Provider AB aimed to offer a range of additional investment products in the future.

Bitcoin ETN issuer XBT Provider to distribute BCH value to investors

It was announced today by the Board of Directors of XBT Provider AB, an issuer of bitcoin Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) which trade on Nasdaq Stockholm that the investment company would distribute the appropriate amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to ETN holders from the August 1st fork event.

GENERAL RISKS INVOLVED WITH TRADING

How To Invest In Bitcoin With An ETN

British investors who want to buy into the Bitcoin bonanza have few choices about where to go to make a secure purchase.

But one UK online fund supermarket has opened the door on Bitcoin investing by offering access to the market for SIPP and brokerage accounts.

Investors can buy into exchange traded notes from Swedish firm XBT Provider through the Hargreaves Lansdown portal.

Laurent Kassis, an ETF trading consultant and interim managing director of XBT Provider, said: “This is good news for the world of bitcoin and UK investors.”

Despite the volatility in the Bitcoin market, the ETN has drummed up support from some experts.

The virtual currency is trading at US$4,368 – slightly down from an all-time high of $4,950 which was reached on September 1.

Bitcoin’s dubious reputation

Shares in the Bitcoin ETN are trading for around 174 Swedish Krone – equivalent to £16.45.

The ETN tracks the price of Bitcoin.

In 2015, the firm issued a tracker that became the first bitcoin-based security available on a regulated exchange when it listed in Stockholm.

Bitcoin has a dubious reputation as a reliable asset after years of bad publicity linking the virtual currency with crime and fraud.

The untraceable nature of Bitcoin has allegedly eased the financial dealings of criminals and terrorists, while several Bitcoin brokers have gone to the wall after losing huge sums of the currency to thieves and hackers.

Few governments or central banks recognise Bitcoin as a legal currency, leaving the sector largely unregulated.

ETN tax and risk

This also means that any gains on trading the currency are taxable – typically under a nation’s capital gains tax laws.

An ETN differs from an ETF, with the former a contract based on senior debt and an ETF represent a stake in the underlying asset.

Barclays Bank is the leading backer of ETNs, but this still leaves the notes open to credit risk as they are not supported by a central bank.

ETNs track the value of Bitcoin, less 75 basis points a year.

Unlike ETFS which involve little credit risk, if the backing for ETNs crumbles, the holder could lose some or all the promised return.

JP Morgan Trades Bitcoin ETN for Clients After CEO Calls It a 'Fraud'

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon made headlines last week for his harsh words on cryptocurrencies, and he saved special vitriol for bitcoin in particular. Of the largest digital currency in the world, the banking boss said the entire enterprise was a "fraud" and suggested he would fire any employee who was caught trading a digital currency because that employee would be "stupid" for doing so. (See more: Jamie Dimon Calls Bitcoin a 'Fraud.')

Now, Bitcoin.com reveals that JP Morgan has been routing customer orders for XBT shares, exchange-traded notes that track the price of bitcoin. In an interview with Reuters, JP Morgan spokesman Brian Marchiony said, “They are not JPMorgan orders. These are clients purchasing third-party products directly.”

JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley Buy Bitcoin ETNs

Reports suggest that both JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley have recently routed client orders for XBT note shares. The information comes via public records of Nordnet trading logs.

According to Bitcoin.com, JP Morgan routed the most XBT shares of all of the big banks included in the list of purchasers.

Bitcoin ETNs have become a popular means of investing in the cryptocurrency among mainstream investors and large-scale financial firms looking to add exposure in the area. Bitcoin-tracking ETNs follow bitcoin price movements as compared with major currencies like the euro and the U.S. dollar. Generally, bitcoin ETNs have provided exceptionally strong results so far in 2017, which isn't surprising, considering the rapid growth of the currency itself over the course of the year.

JP Morgan Also Involved in Blockchain

Dimon's firm is also involved in the recent uptick in blockchain interest increasingly common amongst big banks. (See more: How Blockchain Technology is Changing Real Estate.)

JP Morgan has applied for a "bitcoin alternative" patent in the United States more than 175 times since 2013. The company is also reportedly developing a blockchain based on the ethereum system.

Investors have generally been divided over their approach to currencies like bitcoin, with some quickly rallying behind the new investment area and others, like Dimon, speaking out against it.

Concerns about a bitcoin and cryptocurrency bubble are commonly heard, and extreme volatility in the cryptocurrency space suggests that the proposition of investing is risky. But there also have been many opportunities for investors of all types to make a substantial amount of money through digital currency investments.
