Record Highs
Bitcoin maximalists proved the world wrong was the general tone of conversations across social media channels as the bulls were seen parading their price target calls in the wake of Bitcoin finally printing a new record high on Monday.
The fact that many financial institutions, investors and economists, have remained sceptical of the asset even as inflows surged into products such as those offered by Grayscale and 21Shares, adds even more significance to the price development. Still, there have also been a number of firms that have the benefits and interest to invest in the fast-growing asset class.
The most recent being Guggenheim Macro Opps fund which filed an amendment with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to allow its $5 billion Macro Opportunities Fund gain exposure to Bitcoin via the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). The fact that GBTC was chosen over other venues is also of great significance, because it demonstrates that above all else the fund chose security and regulatory stamp of approval.
