Bitcoin ETFs in Canada w/ Elliot Johnson - Fed Watch 44 - Bitcoin Magazine Podcast

In this episode of Bitcoin Magazine’s "Fed Watch" podcast, hosts Christian Keroles and Ansel Lindner spoke with Elliot Johnson of Evolve ETFs.Show more

Johnson and Evolve launched a bitcoin ETF in Canada in February and the episode covered that experience. Evolve has many ETF products centered around disruptive technologies and Johnson has a lot of experience launching products like these and working with regulators on financial products, so the hosts took the opportunity to dive deeply into this area of his expertise and get his view on bitcoin and the macroeconomic climate in general. As you can tell, it ended up being a pretty broad conversation.

It was nice for Keroles and Lindner to interview an industry professional who is, perhaps we can say, tangential to bitcoin. While Evolve is not technically a bitcoin-only company, it has several ETF products in the space. Johnson explained how its bitcoin ETF was the first product it tried to launch back in 2017, but regulators weren’t ready for it back then. Evolve kept trying and now has introduced one of the three bitcoin ETFs that were launched in Canada in the last month.

Johnson said that, though the process took several years, Canada is emerging as a forward-thinking financial jurisdiction. They are very comfortable with disruptive new products, and he hopes to maintain the good working relationship with the Ontario Securities Commission in the future.
