The rising demand for Bitcoin has made way for various regulated investment options offered by large financial institutions. One such product is now being offered by ProFunds, a firm that offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds. It has now launched the first publically available Bitcoin mutual fund in the United States. The fund would be called Bitcoin Strategy ProFund and represented by the ticker symbol BTCFX.
The mutual fund provider said that its new Bitcoin fund would eliminate the need to buy bitcoin using unregulated third-party crypto exchanges and wallets. The firm has 20 years of experience in managing several innovative funds.
ProFunds CEO Michael L. Sapir said crypto assets have become a significant asset class and their latest offering would help clients to security gain exposure to Bitcoin.
“Cryptocurrency has become a significant asset class, and our new Bitcoin Strategy ProFund provides investors access to a bitcoin strategy through a mutual fund investment. Compared to directly buying bitcoin, which may involve opening a new account with an unregulated party, this ProFund offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to bitcoin through a form and investment method that tens of millions of investors are familiar with.”

The demand for crypto-related products has skyrocketed among investors of all classes.
