Summary

The article “Van Eck, SolidX to Offer Limited Version of Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund” discusses mote about investment firm by the name, VanEck as well as technology firm SolidX in selling shares in a restricted version of a Bitcoin EFT. Such investment will use a rule, which exempts the shares from securities registration, where shares can be sold to particular institutional investors. The author provides that the firms are allowed to use Securities and Exchange Commission’s Act that enables the sale of securities towards qualified institutional buyers.

Analysis

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Act continues taking extreme caution to decide on opening the door towards Bitcoin ETFs that has impacted VanEck and SolidX towards taking things into their hands. SEC act is likely to see these two firms to employ a rule, which exempts the shares from registration of securities. Nevertheless, the amount of capital that is likely to be involved in EFTs is huge. This market has been projected to grow into a multi-trillion market in the near future.

Menton, J. (2019, August 16). Investors Flock to Gold ETFs. Retrieved from https://www.wsj.com/articles/investors-flock-to-gold-etfs-11565956800

Article title and the publication date

The article title is “Investors Flock to Gold ETFs” published on 16th August 2019.

Summary

The article “Investors Flock to Gold ETFs,” by Menton shows how Gold ETFs are increasing to the upside despite the increased projection of a United States rate cut. Many investors believe that gold is inversely correlated with interest rates. This increase of interest rates is likely to make bonds as well as fixed-income investments more attractive in ensuring that the money flows into higher-yielding investments including money market funds as well as bonds.

Analysis

This article shows that investors continue flocking to the funds. Investors need to expect gold to continue moving upside in the near future since most of the investors use gold as a hedge against the uncertainty of the economy. Also, the article shows that shares of smaller gold miners might offer more opportunities for investors compared with their larger miners that are trading close towards fair values.I attached the Sample.
