The application highlights a dual exposure strategy, with 75% towards Bitcoin and 25% to Ethereum. This fund is proposed to be custodied by Crypto.com’s Foris DAX Trust Company, and sponsored by Yorkville America Digital.

Did you know? The first Bitcoin ETF was proposed in 2013, but it took nearly a decade for the SEC to approve one.
As of June 16, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $107,609.37 with a market cap of $2.14 trillion, exhibiting a 1.86% price increase over 24 hours. Ethereum’s inclusion in the ETF reflects its importance as a foundational Layer 1 asset, alongside Bitcoin’s dominant market presence. Recently, BTC shows a 31.65% increase over 90 days, according to CoinMarketCap data.
The Coincu research team highlights that the ETF might enhance market liquidity and regulated asset entry. Drawing from previous ETF attempts, regulated exposure could potentially impact traditional finance sectors and appeal to broader investor demographics, setting a precedent for future regulatory actions.
