Simplify CEO: Investors should be careful” in terms of crypto

The ETF company Simplify Asset Management wants to expand your crypto-related offer.

The company based in New York proposed to put on the Simplify Bitcoin Strategy Risk-Managed Income ETF (Maxi) Regulatory disclosure . It would bear a cost rate of 97 basis points, according to the registration.

The fund would invest in standardized Bitcoin futures contracts with cash compensation that are traded on commissioned trading commission, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

The option overlay strategy of the planned offer consists of the purchase of listed protective put options and the writing of stock markets traded on Bitcoin Futures or Bitcoin-related ETFs.

Maxi would also invest in US state bonds and ETFs that invest in them.

Paul Kim, co -founder and CEO of Simplify, called Bitcoin and Krypto "important risks".

"If people invest time, resources and careers in building an industry or market, it is de facto an important industry or an important market," he told Blockworks. "Even a purely passive market investor may want to go away at least from zero and have a small position there."

Although he is personally not invested very much in crypto, he believes that investors should be “careful” in relation to the room.

"In view of all the geopolitical and macroeconomic reasons why things like Bitcoin and crypto can be important, I think that it is a purchase option for something that could be very big," he said.

Simplify asset management specializes in option -based investment strategies for consultants. According to ETF.com, the company has 22 ETFs traded in the USA with total assets of around $ 1.4 billion.

The latest submission would not be the first excursion from Simplify in Krypto.

Simplify submitted an ETF in January that focuses on web3 and meta-verse companies in the USA and abroad.

The company launched its US Equity Plus GBTC ETF (SPBC) in May 2021, which mainly invests in US shares and also offers investors through the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) a 10 percent engagement in Bitcoin.

Grayscale has suggested to convert GBTC into an ETF, and the SEC is expected to decide on this proposal in July. However, the agency has given the green light for Bitcoin futures ETFs, which are to come to the US market last October, has continuously rejected applications for Spot-Bitcoin ETFs.

KIM said that it may need a change in the administration before the SEC approves a spot bitcoin ETF.

"Once [The Sec], the added value is so massive given the Bitcoin futures engagement that a spot conversion or a spot ETF should be approved." Within the crypto industry, you would say, of course. But outside, there is really a massive difference from investor's view? "
