Monochrome’s CEO Is Hoping Positive Patterns With Its BTC Fund Translates Over To Its Ether ETF Offering
Monochrome’s CEO, Jeff Yew, in an interview with Cointelegraph, said he expects strong interest in the firm’s new offering. He notes a few key elements that can help to make an Ethereum ETF a success.
“We are starting to see an interesting pattern with our Bitcoin ETF ; people are moving their custody points from crypto exchanges into the ETF; that’s actually where we are seeing the biggest growth from”, Yew said.

Jeff Yew Believes Australian Investors Have Been Waiting Eagerly For A Fully Regulated Crypto Product
He went on to add that Australia has been “less restrictive” on crypto compared to other countries, so ETFs are “unplugging a stopgap” for the Australian market to invest in a fully regulated product for the first time.
“Dozens and dozens of crypto exchanges have been offering services to retail investors and some professional investors for the better part of a decade, so there is already a lot of investment in crypto assets,” he said.
Another Australian ETF, the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (VBTC), launched earlier this Summer, on July 13 and provides exposure by investing in VanEck’s Bitcoin Trust. Its net holdings currently stand at over $26 million ($40 million Australian dollars).
