First, a third bitcoin ETF is expected to start trading. The VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investing.com\/etfs\/xbtf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0XBTF<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">) is expected to list by Wednesday. Excitement over the first ETF, ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investing.com\/etfs\/proshares-bitcoin-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0BITO<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">), may have propelled bitcoin to all-time highs, but the response to the second, Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NASDAQ:<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investing.com\/etfs\/valkyrie-bitcoin-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0BTF<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">), was more muted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s also worth watching how the crypto complex reacts to a tightening environment. Much of the investment thesis for crypto is tied to inflation and the value of money; an increase in the cost of capital via central bank tightening could make traditional currencies and assets relatively more attractive. While primarily a coincidence, the tightening cycle in 2018 and the simultaneous off-year in crypto may be worth keeping in mind even as optimism in the sector remains high.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite high-profile earnings report misses, a central bank surprise decision, and uninspiring economic data, markets pushed higher to close out October.
