“# VanEck Bitcoin futures ETF to launch on CBOE on Nov. 16 <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

VanEck, one of the first United States-based asset managers to file for a Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF), is finally launching its Bitcoin futures ETF.<\/p>\n

According to an official notice<\/a> by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), VanEck\u2019s Bitcoin Strategy ETF will start trading on CBOE under the ticker symbol XBTF on Nov. 16.<\/p>\n

VanEck\u2019s new ETF is joining the growing number of BTC futures-based ETFs launched in the United States, including ProShares\u2019 Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which became the first Bitcoin futures ETF to start trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 19. Valkyrie\u2019s Bitcoin Strategy ETF started trading on Nasdaq under the BTF ticker in late October.<\/p>\n

CBOE\u2019s listing of XBTF comes just a couple of days after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officially rejected VanEck\u2019s spot Bitcoin ETF app<\/a>lication. The SEC argued that the proposed rule change to list the ETF did not meet standards to\u00a0 \u201cprevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices\u201d or \u201cprotect investors and the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Launched back in 1955, VanEck is a U.S. asset manager specializing in thematic and gold-based ETFs and Mutual Funds. VanEck is known in the crypto community as one of the first U.S. firms to ever file<\/a> for a Bitcoin futures ETF. The firm has submitted<\/a> multiple BTC ETF filings with the SEC since then but has only managed to get its futures ETF approved to date.<\/p>\n

VanEck did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to Cointelegraph\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, SEC chair Gary Gensler previously hinted that the SEC would be more open to accepting ETFs based on cryptocurrency futures rather than through direct exposure.<\/p>\n

However, some companies like Bitwise Asset Management remain bullish on a potential pure Bitcoin ETF, with the firm even deciding to drop its futures ETF filing last week. \u201cUltimately, what many investors want is a spot Bitcoin ETF. We think that\u2019s possible. So Bitwise will continue to pursue that goal, and we will look for other ways to help investors get access to the incredible opportunities in crypto,\u201d Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan said.<\/p>\n
