Calamos Investments announced three new ETFs aimed at providing protection for Bitcoin investments in response to growing interest in cryptocurrencies.
Diversifying Exposure
Calamos Investments, managing over $40 billion in assets, filed paperwork with the SEC for three new ETFs:
* Calamos Laddered Bitcoin Structured Alt Protection ETF (CBOY) - designed to provide positive Bitcoin price returns with loss protection over one year. * Laddered Bitcoin 80 Series Structured Alt Protection ETF (CBTY) - similar to CBOY but limits maximum losses to 20%. * Laddered Bitcoin 90 Series Structured Alt Protection ETF (CBXY) - similar mechanisms but with a 10% loss limit.
Each fund helps investors generate returns from Bitcoin while mitigating risks.
Demand for ETFs
Data shows that demand for Bitcoin-related ETFs remains strong. For instance, such funds experienced a $7.78 billion inflow streak in just one week, highlighting growing interest from institutional investors. Simultaneously, Calamos funds will utilize options and track prices of up to five different ETFs.
Future of Bitcoin ETFs
Given that many investors are looking to mitigate risk and gain exposure to cryptocurrencies, the emergence of such ETFs could be an important step for a greater number of investors. Matt Kaufman noted these instruments could encourage investors to increase their Bitcoin holdings in their portfolios.
The launch of new ETFs by Calamos Investments reflects the ongoing growth of interest in Bitcoin as an investment asset, offering investors new opportunities for diversifying their holdings and managing risks.
