“Our ETF, to be traded with the QBTC11 ticker, is a milestone within the Brazilian market. The asset finally ends up appearing as a double hedge, as it’s a digital commodity and on the identical time, it’s traded in {dollars} on the world market. Its value is unrelated with different asset lessons, which implies that it’s more and more being adopted by massive managers and buyers inside diversified portfolios.”
