Wooden Sister Ark Invest strikes hard: SEC files for multiple Bitcoin ETFs, focusing on enhanced returns and fall protection.

After the SEC approved universal listing standards for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Cathie Wood's asset management firm Ark Invest submitted several new Bitcoin ETF applications to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 14. These preliminary prospectuses cover products such as the ARK Bitcoin Yield ETF, which aims to provide returns to investors through options strategies while reducing volatility. Additionally, there are the ARK DIET Bitcoin 1 ETF and ARK DIET Bitcoin 2 ETF, focusing on providing 50% or 10% downside protection. This move follows similar yield-enhancing ETF applications from BlackRock, indicating that the Bitcoin ETF market is shifting from simple spot exposure to more complex structured products.
