After the highly-anticipated debut of <a href="https://jacobiam.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jacobi Asset Management’s</a> Jacobi FT Wilshire Bitcoin ETF, Europe will finally have its first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). More than a year after its initial debut date of 2022, the London-based digital asset management business said on August 15 that its new investment product will begin trading on the Euronext Amsterdam stock market. 
According to press reports, the offering was promoted as the first spot or physical-backed Bitcoin fund, giving investors direct access to a financial asset backed by <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-btc-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>. The Guernsey Financial Services Commission granted approval for the new ETF long back, and the ticker symbol will be “BCOIN.” According to reports, <a href="https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fidelity Digital Assets</a> will be in charge of the custodian aspects of the BCOIN ETF. 
Since a renewable energy certificate (REC) was included in the ETF, the asset management company touted the fund’s eco and socially-conscious qualities. 
The fund uses third-party data to determine the Bitcoin network’s energy consumption, after which it purchases and retires RECs. Moreover, the RECs are tracked and recorded on a blockchain server so that potential investors may check the fund’s green claims.

To get the average Bitcoin price from select cryptocurrency exchanges in real-time, BCOIN uses the FT Wilshire Bitcoin Blended Price Index. In contrast to holding Bitcoin under direct ownership, investors in a spot ETF might obtain indirect exposure to the Bitcoin market. 
While this is an important step forward for Europe, big asset managers in the United States like <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/blackrock-bitcoin-etf-approval-inches-closer-industry-insiders-share-insights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlackRock</a> and Fidelity have yet to have their applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs approved by authorities.
