Cryptocurrency prices are hitting their all-time high records and more bullish news are knocking doors of investors.
At the end of October, Australian regulators started accepting exchange-traded funds. In other words, Bitcoin and Ether ETFs trading on Australia’s stock markets will start in the coming months.
The move is a “very, very exciting” development for the world of digital assets, according to Sui Chung, CEO of CF Benchmarks, a financial data company. CF Benchmarks’ data underpins CME Group’s crypto futures and is used by many crypto exchange-traded products.
Chung said that Australia’s acceptance of crypto ETFs is a huge milestone. This is because the move will bring more exposure to the market.
