Quantity Funds and Return Stacked Launch STKD Bitcoin and Gold ETF
Quantity Funds, in partnership with Return Stacked, has introduced the STKD Bitcoin and Gold ETF, a new investment option that combines two scarce assets into a single fund. This U.S.-based ETF offers investors the opportunity to invest in both Bitcoin and gold, providing a diversified investment vehicle aimed at protecting against potential currency debasement and inflation.
Diversification Through a Combined Bitcoin and Gold ETF:
The STKD Bitcoin and Gold ETF pools Bitcoin and gold, offering a way for investors to diversify their portfolios with assets that can act as hedges against economic uncertainty. The ETF promises full investment in both Bitcoin and gold, utilizing strategies involving Bitcoin futures and exchange-traded products (ETPs) to capture Bitcoin’s price returns, while employing similar approaches for gold to profit from its price movements.
This launch comes amid ongoing debates over the relative value of Bitcoin and gold. According to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, Bitcoin could see a significant rise in value due to inflation driven by geopolitical conflicts. Meanwhile, gold remains a traditional hedge against economic instability.
The Bitcoin vs. Gold Debate:
The introduction of this ETF has revived discussions about the advantages of Bitcoin versus gold as investments. Quantity Funds emphasized that both assets play essential roles in portfolio diversification, offering not just capital appreciation but also hedging benefits.
Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff continues to be a prominent voice in this debate. In a recent post, he criticized the market’s focus on what he called a “meaningless, Trump-inspired Bitcoin pump,” arguing that it has overshadowed gold’s achievement of a new record high above $2,680.
