The first short Bitcoin (BTC) биржалык соода фонду (ETF) from ProShares got off to a very slow start on its Tuesday launch but gathered pace by increasing trading volume by 380% on day two.

On launch day on Tuesday, the ProShares Bitcoin Short Strategy ETF (BITI) traded a lackluster 183,300 shares, which ETF analyst at Bloomberg Eric Balchunas белгиленген in a tweet was “less than 1% of the volume $BITO had at this time on Day One.”

However, the next day’s trading volume jumped nearly four times to 886,200 shares, worth about $36.2 million, боюнча Yahoo Finance үчүн.

The BITI exchange-traded fund allows investors to take short positions on the Bitcoin market without holding BTC themselves. Shorting means speculating that the value of a market or asset will fall.

ProShares CEO Michael L. Sapir talked up the volume on day two as indicative of demand and the low fee structure of BITI:

"BITI рынокто алып жаткан кабыл алуу инвесторлордун биткойндор наркы төмөндөп кеткенде, алардын криптовалютасын пайда же хеджирлөө үчүн ыңгайлуу жана үнөмдүү ETFке болгон суроо-талапты ырастайт."

ProShares also provides the Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), which launched on October 18. BITO saw about 1 миллиард доллар көлөмүндө on its first day of trading.

By November, BITO’s volume was among the top 2% of all ETFs but has now lost 50.93% of its value since inception.

Of course, $36 million pales in comparison to the $1B long positions on day one. This may mean most investors are uncertain if there is a further downside from here. Over the past 30 days, the largest crypto by market cap has lost over 30% of its value.

BITI’s relatively poor performance on launch day drew jeers from CFA at Bloomberg Intelligence James Seyffart. On Tuesday, Seyffart tweeted that within the first hour of trading, BITI had only done about $1 million in volume.

Сейффарт мындай деди: that he expected the opening volume to be low, but “Yea def not saying it’s a surprise. Though I must admit I’m a tad surprised it’s THIS low.”

By close, BITI had done about $7.1 million in volume at a daily average price of $39.06 per share.

Australia’s new Bitcoin ETFs have also struggled to attract interest. In April, the Cosmos Purpose Bitcoin Access ETF (CBTC) was expected to attract $1 billion in inflows. However, it and the ETFs 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (EBTC) launch days were delayed until May 12. To date, CBTC only has $810,000 каражаттар under management, while EBTC has $2.8 million.

American traders still yearn for a spot Bitcoin ETF, which the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has denied for years. Commissioner Hester Pierce believes a Bitcoin spot ETF can be launched in the U.S. when industry insiders and regulators cooperate closer to ensure that both are on the same page.
