Australia Approves Another Spot Bitcoin ETF

On July 9, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) gave DigitalX permission to launch its spot Bitcoin ETF, which will begin trading on July 12 under the ticker symbol BTXX.

This approval comes shortly after the ASX listed the VanEck BTC ETF in June.

Additionally, the country’s first Bitcoin ETF, the 21Shares BTC ETF (EBTC), launches on Australia’s Cboe exchange in April 2022.

DigitalX has now become the ASX’s second approved Bitcoin ETF following the launch of VanEck’s product last month.
