The operation of the ETF is managed by BCI Securities Brokerage, facilitating institutional access to cryptocurrencies. With this launch, Chile joins Brazil in offering similar financial products, reflecting a growing interest from local investors in cryptocurrency assets. According to a GTD survey, 74% of Chileans recognize Bitcoin as the most significant cryptocurrency in the market.
