The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved this Wednesday (16) the launch of a new investment fund that exposes investors to both Bitcoin and gold.

The STKD Bitcoin & Gold ETF (BTGD), issued by Quantity Funds, offers an innovative strategy. The fund allows every dollar invested to have 100% exposure to both assets.

This ETF stands out for combining gold, traditionally considered one of the safest assets on the market, with Bitcoin, the most valuable cryptocurrency in the world. BTGD's strategy involves the use of futures contracts for both gold and Bitcoin, providing investors with the opportunity to benefit from the appreciation of both markets simultaneously.

The approval by the SEC marks an important moment for Bitcoin, which has faced skepticism from many traditional investors for years. However, its inclusion in an ETF alongside such a respected asset as gold indicates that the financial market is increasingly accepting Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class.

Diversification opportunity with Bitcoin and gold

With Bitcoin trading close to US$67,000 and gold close to its all-time highs, the launch of this ETF comes at an opportune time. BTGD is an attractive option for investors looking to diversify their portfolios. After all, the fund combines a highly valued digital asset with gold, which has historically served as a hedge in times of economic uncertainty.

The strategy behind BTGD aims to capture the performance of the two assets, which, although different in nature, have proven to be complementary in times of volatility. Gold offers stability in turbulent markets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has significant upside potential as its adoption continues to grow.

The launch of the STKD Bitcoin & Gold ETF represents another step in the integration of Bitcoin into the traditional financial system. For many, including BTC alongside gold in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) offers an additional level of legitimacy, particularly among more conservative investors. This movement could be a sign that the market is adapting to the technological and financial changes brought about by cryptocurrencies.

In recent years, Bitcoin has stopped being just a speculative asset. BTC has become a store of value, especially among younger generations of investors, who are more familiar with digital technologies. These investors see Bitcoin not just as an investment asset, but as a tool that can transform the global financial system.
