I strongly support the approval of a BTC ETF as proposed by Van Eck Associates Corp. and SolidX Partners Inc. Approval would pave the path for America to lead a new wave of technological innovation thanks to the influx of new capital into an emerging, revolutionary market. The opportunity for institutional investors will cause greater funding for blockchain technologies fueled by cryptocurrency that will change our world, and the way we live in it, for a better, decentralized future.
