CRPT in Focus
The First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF seeks to provide investors with capital appreciation. The product charges 85 bps in annual fees (See: All Cryptocurrency ETFs here).
Why the Move?
Bitcoin has hit an all-time high of $75,000, surpassing its previous record of $73,770. Donald Trump, who won the U.S. presidential race on Nov. 6, 2024, is widely seen as a pro-crypto person. Reduced regulatory hurdles (expected in Trump presidency) could encourage even greater institutional participation. Plus, since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has circumnavigated three election cycles, each followed by a rally to new heights, with prices never returning to pre-election levels.
More Gains Ahead?
The CRPT ETF might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 138.69, which gives cues of a further rally.
