MV Index Solutions has published an article saying that it has granted VanEck a license to use its MVIS CryptoCompare Bitcoin VWAP Close index (MVBTCV) as a basis for its Bitcoin ETN.
This exchange-traded note will allow investors to profit from Bitcoin performance without having to actually acquire BTC.
To purchase this ETH, a customer does not require a crypto wallet, where BTC is held separately from the rest of the blockchain assets in the portfolio.
The index measures the performance of a portfolio invested in BTC, and its closing value is based on an hourly VWAP price.
