Jacobi Asset Management was founded in 2021. The CEO is Jamie Khurshid, a former Goldman Sachs investment bank employee. The company's management team consists of blockchain, investment and regulatory experts with experience in managing digital assets.
Jacobi's comments. Khurshid said the ETF will allow access to the first cryptocurrency through a trusted investment structure. The company aims to make investing in digital assets easier and popularize it among institutional and professional market players.
According to the Financial Times piece, only 15-20% of investors in Europe use ETFs. In the US, the figure is as high as 40%. Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not yet registered a single spot bitcoin ETF. On June 29, asset manager Grayscale sued the SEC after another refusal to register its investment product.
Samsung Asset Management plans to list a blockchain-ETF on the Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) in 2022. It will be the first registered fund in Asia that tracks cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
