Investment firm 7RCC Global has officially launched trading of its new ETF, BTCK, on NYSE Arca. The fund offers investors a unique combination of Bitcoin and carbon credit futures within a single investment product.
Under the fund’s structure, about 80% of assets are invested in Bitcoin, while the remaining 20% is allocated to regulated carbon credit futures. These carbon credits are linked to major environmental programs, including the European Union Emissions Trading System, California’s Cap-and-Trade program, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the United States.
The ETF tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index and is designed to reflect the daily performance of both Bitcoin and carbon credit markets, after fees and expenses.
Unlike traditional Bitcoin ETFs that focus only on cryptocurrency exposure, BTCK combines two very different markets. Bitcoin provides exposure to the growing digital asset sector, while carbon credits offer exposure to environmental and emissions-related markets.
Rali Perduhova, Co-Founder and CEO of 7RCC Global, said the company believes digital assets will remain an important part of the global financial system. She explained that BTCK was created to give investors access to both Bitcoin and carbon markets through a regulated and familiar investment structure.
According to Perduhova, the fund brings together two asset classes that are influenced by different economic factors, allowing investors to diversify their exposure within a single product.
The launch comes as competition among crypto ETF providers continues to grow. Many investment firms are expanding beyond traditional Bitcoin products and looking for new ways to combine digital assets with other investment themes.
The idea behind BTCK is not new. Nearly two and a half years ago, 7RCC submitted plans for an environmentally focused Bitcoin ETF using the same 80% Bitcoin and 20% carbon credit allocation. At the time, it was considered one of the first attempts to combine cryptocurrency investing with environmental market exposure.
Interest in carbon-related financial products has also been increasing among major financial institutions. Several large firms have been exploring ways to modernize carbon markets and improve transparency using blockchain technology.
For investors, BTCK offers a simple way to gain exposure to both Bitcoin and carbon credit futures through a standard brokerage account. There is no need to open a crypto exchange account or manage a digital wallet.
The fund’s Bitcoin holdings are custodied by Gemini Trust Company, while U.S. Bank serves as the cash custodian and administrator. The index is administered by Kaiko and calculated by Solactive AG.
With BTCK now trading publicly, investors have another option that combines the growth potential of digital assets with exposure to environmental markets, all within a single regulated ETF.
