Bitcoin Futures ETF Debut:
In a strategic move, Valkyrie, a prominent asset manager, has introduced its Bitcoin Futures Leveraged Strategy ETF on the Nasdaq. This marks their second foray into the crypto ETF space, with the fund listed under the ticker symbol BTFX. Notably, Valkyrie had previously launched a similar fund, BTFD, embracing the popular crypto sentiment of “buy the fucking dip.”
