21Shares to Liquidate Two Bitcoin and Ether Futures ETFs Amid Market Downturn

What to know:

  • 21Shares will liquidate two actively managed ETFs tied to bitcoin and ether futures.
  • The liquidation is set for March 28, with final trading available until March 27.
  • The decision follows $1.66 billion in outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs this month.

Crypto asset manager 21Shares is set to liquidate two actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to bitcoin and ether futures amid a wider market downturn.

The funds slated for liquidation are the ARK 21Shares Active On-Chain Bitcoin Strategy ETF (ARKC) and the ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Ethereum Strategy ETF (ARKY). Investors can trade shares until the market closes on March 27, with liquidation expected to take place “on or around March 28,” according to a press release.

The actively managed ETFs, which have an expense ratio of 1% and 0.93%, respectively, are set to be liquidated as U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs saw over $1.66 billion in outflows so far this month. The outflows come as cryptocurrency prices plunge. Bitcoin is down more than 12.8% year-to-date, while the broader CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) has lost around 24% of its value over the same period.

Shareholders who hold onto their shares until the liquidation date will receive payouts equal to their portion of the fund's net asset value, the document adds.

  • IDF Sets Three Basic Conditions for Ceasefire Agreement with Lebanon

    On April 16, local time, Israeli sources reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have established three basic conditions for a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon: the IDF demands the establishment of a buffer zone extending to the Litani River, prohibiting Hezbollah's activities in that area; the IDF requires complete military operational freedom in the area north of the Litani River to eliminate threats faced by Israel; and the IDF requests the disarmament of Hezbollah under U.S. supervision through long-term measures.

  • S&P 500 Index Hits Historic High Since Outbreak of Iran War

    On April 16, the S&P 500 index reached a historic high during Wednesday's trading session, marking the first new high since the outbreak of the Iran war. The market's optimism regarding a de-escalation of the conflict and strong earnings expectations have attracted investors back to risk assets. Achieving a new high amid ongoing geopolitical crises signifies a shift in market risk pricing, with traders seemingly more willing to factor in lower escalation risks in the short term. When the conflict erupted last month, the stock market experienced a significant drop, and the oil market faced historic shocks, reigniting concerns over inflation and the outlook for U.S. interest rates. Since the conflict began on February 28, the S&P 500 index had fallen by as much as 9%, but did not meet the criteria for a confirmed 'technical adjustment,' while the Nasdaq and Dow Jones indices confirmed they had entered correction territory. The market is also supported by positive corporate earnings outlooks. Executives from major banks indicated that despite the impact of rising oil prices, American consumers remain resilient, and there is a healthy pipeline of merger and IPO projects.

  • US-Iran Negotiations Make Progress Towards Framework Agreement to End War

    On April 15, according to a report by AXIOS, two U.S. officials stated that U.S. and Iranian negotiators made progress during talks on Tuesday, moving towards a framework agreement to end the war. One U.S. official mentioned that the Trump negotiation team (including Vice President Pence, Middle East envoy Hook, and senior advisor Kushner) continues to communicate with Iran and mediators, exchanging drafts and is 'close to the goal.' A third official noted, 'We want to reach an agreement, and some in Iran also want it; the key is to get the entire Iranian government to agree.' Sources indicated that if a framework agreement is reached, a ceasefire extension would be necessary to negotiate the details. 'The details are complex and cannot be completed in two days,' one official said. Another official stated that the U.S. has not yet formally agreed to extend the ceasefire, and both sides are still in ongoing contact.
