For its part, ProFunds, a subsidiary of the company, will launch another product, the Short Bitcoin Strategy ProFund under the ticker BITIX.

 

Michael Sapir, CEO of ProShares, has said:

«With the additions of BITI and BITIX, ProShares and ProFunds will be the only fund families in the US offering funds that allow investors to express their view on the direction of Bitcoin—no matter whether they believe the price will go up or down.»

The world’s first inverse Bitcoin ETF was launched last year by Horizons ETFs Management in Canada. Prior to this, the country’s authorities approved exchange-traded funds based on Bitcoin and Ethereum.
