A BTF is the next generation of Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)
put on a blockchain and to
be sold for a crypto currency as well as fiat currencies.
An ETF trades like a common stock and
tracks a basket of assets (stocks, commodities) through buying those assets physically or by buying
derivatives.
As of August 2023, ETF funds hold ~$10.9 trn of assets and show 10yr CAGR of
~16.3%
88% of ETF assets are in USA+EU, with only 12% in developing
countries.
iZiing have prepared the BTF concept to enter those
untapped segments of the ETF market by:
1) Robo-advisors – natural extension of BTF
concept – will
construct personal investment portfolios using the best investment practices.
2) Storing accounts on private iZiing Blockchain with many node
holders shall embed trust in the
records of ownership of BTFs.
Given strength of incumbents (notably, big western banks and asset
managers )
in their domestic markets that will fiercely defend their multi-billion business, we see
good opportunity to start building this infrastructure outside developed markets and focus distribution
on emerging markets (BRICS and etc.).
