Millennium Management Largest Hedge Fund to Trade GBTC

As per the reports, Millennium Management was among the investors exposed to free fall of net asset value of GBTC. As of now, the hedge fund has $48.3 Billion asset under management and is by far the largest to be exposed to Bitcoin. This is interesting because it indicates the large scale of institutional interest GBTC is attracting and why they are leading in race of Bitcoin ETF. The volume of Millennium’s investment in GBTC is still not known.

While the race of Bitcoin ETF is getting hot, prominent contenders include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, VanEck And Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

The SEC needs to take a call for VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF application by early May where they may finally approve or reject the application.
