To whom it may concern, I'm an active investor in bunch of investment vehicles, including cryptocurrencies. I believe investments such as these give me the opportunity to create financial independence. I am not alone in this goal nor in the belief that blockchain based assets can offer substantial value to the future. With this thought process, myself and many others are getting more and more involved every day. Countless hard earned dollars are coming into this space by means of support for what the cryptocurrency community has to offer. As these dollars are spent on digital assets, there becomes a large burden on the individual to keep these assets safe. As history has shown, many of the exchanges where these assets are held, are exposed to hacking or many other issues that can be a deterrent to entering the space.

An ETF would provide a safe way for people like myself to access cryptocurrencies. To people who are going to be investing their time and money into the space regardless, do the right thing for these people.
