The value of bitcoin rose to approximately $19,500 according to bitcoin last week before a strong correction reduced it to $16,000.
Now the value of bitcoin has recovered, giving a special touch to other primary cryptocurrencies, after a $200 billion asset manager revealed that he could “indirectly seek an investment exposure to bitcoin” with grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) $500 million song.
“The Macro Guggenheim Opportunity Fund would possibly seek investment exposure to bitcoin by investing up to 10% of its net asset price in grayscale Bitcoin Trust (‘GBTC’), a personal investment vehicle that invests in bitcoin,” Guggenheim Partners wrote in a presentation to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday.
Guggenheim’s Macro Opportunity Fund has net assets of approximately $5 billion, meaning it can invest up to $500 million in bitcoin’s grayscale investment vehicle, but direct exposure to bitcoins or cryptocurrencies.
“With the exception of your investment in GBTC, the fund will not invest in cryptocurrencies,” the record states.
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust investors to industry stocks in a fund containing a giant amount of bitcoins, as Grayscale has introduced several other cryptocurrency-backed trusts since the launch of its flagship Bitcoin fund in 2013. bitcoin without having to go through the delicate procedure of buying and maintaining giant amounts of cryptocurrencies.
However, the grayscale accepts as true with the equity industry with a premium on the underlying asset and some have warned that investors might not realize the magnitude of the premium they pay.
Meanwhile, Guggenheim’s record describes several of the dangers it associates with investments in bitcoins and cryptocurrencies, adding “very volatile” prices, the “largely unregulated” nature of many cryptographic exchanges and dubious regulatory prospects.
“Cryptocurrency is a new technological innovation with a limited history; it is a highly speculative asset and long-term regulatory measures or policies may limit, to a materially unfavourable degree, the price of the Fund’s indirect investment in cryptocurrencies and the ability to exchange cryptocurrencies, or use it for payments,” the registration says.
New York-based Guggenheim Partners is the newest in a developing line of Wall Street giants, high-level investors and generation investors interested in bitcoins and cryptocurrencies this year.
The development of Bitcoin’s reputation as virtual gold and emerging inflation policy have taken the value of bitcoin to nearly three-year highs of approximately $20,000 consistent with bitcoin this month.
