The Bitcoin ETF

Bringing the unique world of digital assets to investors.*

Cryptography

Using state-of-the-art cryptography, the Bitcoin Network records and verifies transactions on a wholly distributed and decentralized open-source ledger called the Blockchain.

Bitcoin represents a next-generation technology in the area of payment processing and store of value. It’s a new kind of money.

Simplicity

COIN will be an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that can track the price of bitcoin because its only asset will be bitcoin.* Shares of COIN will represent fractional ownership of the fund’s total bitcoin.

Regulatory Process

Digital Asset Services, LLC has filed a preliminary registration statement (also called an S-1) for COIN with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Shares of COIN will be listed on the Bats BZX Exchange for which Bats has filed a proposed rule change with the SEC (called a 19b-4). Shares of COIN are expected to be available for trading on all national security exchanges.

PRELIMINARY REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The most recent version of the preliminary registration statement is the 9th Amendment to the S-1. [http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1579346/000119312517034708/d296375ds1a.htm ]
