Btcetf extension

bitcoin network generates a new block every ten minutes. Every time a miner completes a block, he can get a certain amount of bitcoin as a block reward, and the reward will be halved for every 210000 blocks mined. Because the time for mining each block is limited to 10 minutes, at this rate, the period for the reward to be halved is four years, that is to say, the reward for bitcoin blocks is halved every four years

when the bitcoin block reward was halved for the first time, its price rose 25 times from 300 yuan to 7995 yuan; In the second half, the price rose 28 times from 5011 yuan to 140000 yuan. So many people predict that the third halving of bitcoin in May 2020 will lead to a sharp rise in the price of bitcoin, at least 10 times. However, these figures are not so clear. After halving in 2012, bitcoin prices rose for two months, and in 2016, there was almost no immediate response to deflation for a month. This may also be the result of the strategy of "buying rumors and selling news" implemented by some speculators

extended data:

after bitcoin halved, the supply slowed down, and keeping deflation through algorithm has always been a part of bitcoin protocol design. It was set up to ensure the value of bitcoin. By recing block incentives and setting the maximum possible supply of bitcoin at 21 million bitcoins, bitcoin has an anti inflation feature, which runs counter to the tendency of central banks to print money at will. At present, there are about 17.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and less than 3.5 million bitcoins are available for mining. When the next block award halves, bitcoin's annual inflation rate will drop from the current 3.8% to about 1.8%

maintaining deflation through algorithms has always been a part of the design of bitcoin protocol. It was created to guarantee the value of bitcoin. By recing block incentives and keeping the total amount of bitcoin at 21 million bitcoins, bitcoin is endowed with an anti inflation nature, which is different from the tendency of central banks to print money at will. At present, there are about 17.5 million bitcoins in circulation and less than 3.5 million available for mining. The next block award cut in half could rece bitcoin's annual inflation rate from the current 3.8% to about 1.8%. This will be the first time in bitcoin's history that it has fallen below the historical average of about 2% - 3% growth in gold supply

ETF, fully known as "trading type open-end index fund", is a kind of open-end fund listed and traded on the exchange with variable fund shares. Investors can not only apply for or redeem fund shares from fund management companies, but also buy and sell ETF shares at the market price in the exchange. ETF is the bitcoin holder's consignment of bitcoin spot to the fund company, and then the fund company relies on it to publicly issue fund shares in the exchange and sell them to all kinds of investors. In addition, banks and brokers will be responsible for underwriting

in short, bitcoin ETF is to securitize bitcoin into an open-ended fund proct that can be bought on the exchange

the successful application of bitcoin ETF means that:

1. The successful application of bitcoin ETF will first lower the threshold of bitcoin transaction and bring a lot of money to the bitcoin trading market

2. It will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency instry and promote asset custody

3. ETF is equivalent to telling the public that bitcoin has been officially recognized as a legal asset class, changing people's overall view on the regulatory risk of cryptocurrency, which will accelerate the public's acceptance of cryptocurrency represented by bitcoin

the launch of any ETF proct will naturally stimulate its underlying proct market, because on the one hand, the underlying proct is most suitable for hedging ETF price fluctuations, and on the other hand, ETF purchase and redemption will inevitably involve buying and selling entity bitcoin. If the 15th application is passed, it will be a healthy development. In the next step, there will be more demand for derivatives, such as ETF options

sec exemption

the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is not as pedantic and rigid as people think. In fact, they also provide some exemption "benefits", allowing companies to launch bitcoin investment procts without registration. And before the SEC formally approves the bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (BTC ETF), these companies usually use the "detour" of exemption to release temporary procts
