Following the debut of the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $67,016. This was the first time the cryptocurrency has achieved this level. On Monday, the first bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) was launched on the New York Stock Exchange. In a request for authorization to convert its bitcoin assets into an ETF backed by outright holdings of digital tokens, VanEck, the world's largest digital asset manager with $38 billion in bitcoin under management, asked the SEC for permission. During the period from March of last year to March of this year, the cryptocurrency markets have risen significantly, achieving a total market capitalization of $2 trillion.
Cryptocurrency trading is "not suited for the general public", according to Singapore's central bank.
Cryptocurrency investors in Singapore may have to go through a risk awareness assessment before being allowed to trade. They will also not be able to use credit cards or any form of borrowing to trade cryptocurrencies. These are among the measures proposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect retail consumers. A risk awareness assessment is also being proposed to ensure that retail customers have sufficient knowledge of the risks involved. DPT service providers will not be allowed to offer any monetary or non-monetary incentives to retail customers upon sign-up, or to any person to encourage referrals of its service.
