The lack of a custody regime for cryptocurrencies prevents the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in Australia at present, although changes to the regulatory regime are expected in 2022. Betashares CEO Alex Vynokur says it is inevitable that a local Bitcoin ETF will be launched in Australia, adding that his firm would be interested in entering this market. Holon MD Heath Behncke says his firm would also be keen to launch a Bitcoin ETF. The world’s first listed Bitcoin ETF has performed well following its recent debut in the US.
