AdvisorShares files for a Bitcoin futures ETF with the SEC
Investment management firm AdvisorShares has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a Bitcoin futures ETF. The move comes as more firms in the US seek to offer institutional investors exposure to the cryptocurrency market.AdvisorShares filed the ETF application with the SEC recently, seeking to gain indirect exposure to Bitcoin. Per the SEC filing, the AdvisorShares Managed Bitcoin ETF seeks to invest “all or substantially all of its assets in exchange-traded futures contracts on BTC. The investment firm pointed out that it wouldn’t invest directly in Bitcoin.
Furthermore, Morgan Creek Capital will occupy the role of the Fund’s sub-adviser, leveraging its research and other resources to help guide the ETFs investment strategies.
More investment firms file for Bitcoin futures ETF
Investment firms in the United States were previously applying to launch Bitcoin ETFs. These ETFs sought to directly track the performance of the leading cryptocurrency. However, the SEC chair, Gary Gensler, recently pointed out that the regulatory agency is open to approving ETFs that don’t directly invest in Bitcoin.Since then, investment firms in the United States have been applying to launch Bitcoin futures ETFs. So far, firms such as Galaxy Digital and VanEck have applied with the SEC to launch Bitcoin futures ETFs.
Meanwhile, two firms, VanEck and ProShares, have withdrawn their applications for Ether futures ETFs a few days after filing them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
