What Happened: The VanEck Bitcoin ETF, with a seed investment of nearly $657,000, made its debut on the Australian Securities Exchange, Bloomberg reported. The ETF is a feeder fund for the $647 million VanEck Bitcoin Trust (BATS:HODL) in the U.S.
事件經過：VanEck比特幣交易基金（VanEck Bitcoin ETF）在澳大利亞證券交易所上市，最初的種子投資金額近65.7萬美元。歸美國BATS:HODL管理的資產達6.47億美元，走向饋贈基金。
Other Australian firms, such as Sydney-based BetaShares Holdings Pty and DigitalX Ltd., are also gearing up for listings on the main Australian board. However, VanEck is the only applicant that has received approval so far.
其他澳大利亞企業，比如總部位於悉尼的BetaShares Holdings Pty和DigitalX Ltd.，也正在爲在主要澳大利亞市場上市進行準備。但是，VanEck是迄今爲止唯一獲得批准的申請人。
