Show Notes
We're delighted to welcome Monochrome Asset Management back to the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast.
Monochrome is Australia's only asset manager licensed for direct retail crypto custody. Consequently, its crypto ETFs are the only ones in Australia that hold assets directly - not via feeder or sub-funds.
Monochrome ETFs are also unusual due to offering in-kind creation and redemption for all investors. Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) and Monochrome Ethereum ETF (IETH) are listed on Cboe Australia, each with a management fee of 0.25%. They're the lowest-cost crypto ETFs in Australia.
With IBTC recently passing US$100 million in AuM and Monochrome now expanding in South-East Asia, we're stoked to sit down with CEO Jeff Yew and Chief Operating Officer Grayson McLeod.
Listen in for exclusive insights on Oz's institutional crypto landscape, and the potential offered by the country's vast superannuation system. Key talking points:
- What exactly makes IBTC and IETH distinct as true holders of crypto, and how does this benefit investors?
- How Monochrome's regulated in-kind facility means no cap on institutional allocations
- The key to unlocking faster growth for ETH ETF allocations
- What's behind IBTC's and IETH's airtight tracking?
- How close are we to seeing allocations at scale from Aussie 'Supers'?
For a rare look at the evolution of institutional crypto in the pivotal Australian marketplace get Jeff and Grayson's perceptive commentary now!
