Diversifying with BITO and Bitcoin ETFs with Simeon Hyman

In today’s episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Simeon Hyman, Global Investment Strategist at ProShares.
From the initial idea of an ETF to product development to the roll-out, Simeon creates—and even customizes—a smooth product strategy to ensure every client and prospect understands the ETF's scope. Prior to creating successful ETFs with ProShares, Simeon held investment leadership roles at Bloomberg Wealth and UBS.
Simeon talks with Rusty and Robyn about all things Bitcoin Futures ETF, and the rationale behind its advantage over Bitcoin or other altcoins.
"Bitcoin’s a volatile thing. Nobody can tell you it’s not. And our ETF, BITO, delivered. That volatility in itself is a ‘feature’ from our perspective, not a bug. There are fewer and fewer things that don’t approach this kind of correlation, so finding something that behaves differently is a very valuable diversifier.” ~ Simeon Hyman

Main Takeaways 

Bitcoin is volatile, but it can be a great inflation hedge and diversifier. Through Bitcoin ETFs you can gain Bitcoin exposure while maintaining a well-performing portfolio over time.

The value of a digital asset will greatly differ depending on how a person uses it. For investors, they keep watch on how it will compete in their investment portfolio. For a typical cryptocurrency user, it's just another modicum of exchange.

BITO recognizes Bitcoin and other crypto volatility. With the advent of a regulated futures market, it's easy to appropriately place Bitcoin in your portfolio.

The cryptocurrency market is unregulated by nature, so there’s no safe and tactical approach on how to invest in Bitcoin and it would be difficult to speculate and diversify with altcoins.
