Quantity Funds has launched a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on a basket of futures and exchange-traded products (ETPs) for gold and Bitcoin. This product, called the STKD Bitcoin & Gold ETF (BTGD), is designed to protect investors from inflation and currency depreciation.
ETF Features
The BTGD fund does not invest directly in cryptocurrencies or physical gold. Instead, it provides exposure to these assets through instruments that secure their value. The fund’s structure is designed so that investors can gain $1 of exposure to the assets for every $1 invested in the fund.
Hedge Against Economic Risks
According to the issuer, gold and Bitcoin, as two scarce assets, can serve as a hedge against inflationary risks and currency devaluation, which is particularly relevant in current economic conditions.
Analysts’ Views on Bitcoin’s Prospects
Analysts at JPMorgan previously noted that the potential return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency, along with the growing need for protection against economic instability, creates favorable conditions for Bitcoin’s growth in 2025.
BlackRock’s Position
Additionally, BlackRock has called Bitcoin a “risk-free asset,” which enhances its appeal to institutional investors and retail traders alike.
