Now Brazil Has A Bitcoin ETF Too
Happy Friday, Blockfolians
The Lede
By any measure it has been a good week for institutional Bitcoin adoption. Morgan Stanley added three new funds and is reportedly in the bidding for South Korean exchange Bithumb.
On top of that, Grayscale announced that it had $45B assets under management, and the SEC published the Van Eck Bitcoin ETF application, formally kicking off the review process.
What’s more, Brazil became the second country in the Americas (after Canada) to actually approve an ETF. Many are hoping that with pro-crypto Gary Gensler at the help of the SEC, the US won’t be long to follow.
