Blockchain-focused asset manager DigitalX has received regulatory approval to launch its spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), which will become the second Bitcoin ETF to trade on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
The DigitalX Bitcoin&nbsp;ETF will be listed under the ticker BTXX on July 12 at 10 am local time, the firm <a href="https://x.com/DigitalXLtd/status/1810461336612344144" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">revealed</a> in a July 8 X post.
The approval to list BTXX was described as a “watershed moment” by its CEO, Lisa Wade.
“The DigitalX Bitcoin ETF is a spot ETF product that provides ASX customers with direct access to Bitcoin via a regulated and liquid fund structure,” she said.
“It is exciting to see the growth and development of the digital assets markets reflected in this approval” in Australia, added DigitalX’s chair Toby Hicks.
