7RCC, an ESG-conscious company, recently did just that applied for a spot in Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), which represents a significant step in the merger of cryptocurrency investing with environmental sustainability. This innovative financial instrument aims to meet investors who are increasingly focusing on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in their investment decisions.
Central to the 7RCC Bitcoin ETF is its unique investment composition. The fund dedicates 80% of its capital base to actual Bitcoin (BTC) investments, while the remaining 20% is allocated to carbon credit futures. This structure is designed to offset the environmental impact traditionally associated with Bitcoin mining, a concern that has been a point of criticism for cryptocurrencies. By including carbon credit futures, 7RCC aims to provide a carbon-neutral trading strategy, meeting the growing demand for sustainable investment options in the crypto market.
Gemini: a strategic choice for deprivation of liberty
In a departure from the norm where most Bitcoin ETF applicants have preferred Coinbase Exchange as their custodian, 7RCC has chosen Gemini. This decision represents a strategic move by 7RCC, choosing Gemini’s expertise to manage the Bitcoin component of the ETF. Gemini’s role as custodian is crucial in ensuring the security and regulatory compliance of the Bitcoin assets under management.
7RCC’s market position and future prospects
By entering the Bitcoin ETF arena, 7RCC joins other notable companies such as Ark 21Shares, Grayscale and BlackRock. However, its ESG-focused approach significantly sets the company apart from its competitors. 7RCC’s proposed ETF stands out as a pioneer in integrating cryptocurrency investments with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs in the near future. The approval of 7RCC’s ETF would not only expand the range of investment vehicles available, but also set a precedent for carbon-neutral strategies in cryptocurrency investments.
