According to a filing, asset management ProShares aims to launch a Bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund as soon as Monday, ending an eight-year wait for a product tracking the cryptocurrency on the US stock market.

Late Friday, the fund management submitted an amended prospectus for the Bitcoin Strategy ETF with the Securities and Exchange Commission (ticker BITO). The proposed debut of the fund, which would trade on the NYSE Arca Exchange and have a 0.95 percent management fee, is set for Oct. 18, according to the application. ProShares officials declined to comment. A request for comment from the Securities and Exchange Commission was not immediately returned.

According to sources familiar with the situation, the SEC is unlikely to prevent the products from trading next week, according to Bloomberg News. The fund’s launch will be the conclusion of a nearly decade-long effort by the $6.7 trillion ETF sector, barring a last-minute reversal. In 2013, the twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, widely known for their role in the founding of Facebook Inc., submitted the first application for a Bitcoin ETF.

For over a decade, U.S. issuers have been unable to create an ETF due to regulatory concerns about anything from market manipulation to verifying ownership of coins owned by funds. In August, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler suggested that funds based on CME-traded Bitcoin futures registered under a 1940s legislation would be preferred, a position he repeated late last month.

This transparency resulted in a deluge of futures-backed filings. Four futures-backed Bitcoin ETFs might start trading on US exchanges this month, with deadlines approaching for proposals from Invesco Ltd., VanEck, and Valkyrie.

Retail investors seeking to ride Bitcoin’s frequently hair-raising ups and downs should be able to do so more easily with an ETF. It will trade on U.S. stock markets, similar to equities tracking oil and gold, rather than cryptocurrency or futures exchanges, whose workings are unfamiliar to some consumers.

Bitcoin has risen sharply in recent weeks, fuelled by anticipation that a debut in the United States is in the cards. On Friday, the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency went above $62,000 for the first time since April, barely shy of its all-time high of $64,869 established earlier this year. Since its low in late July, Bitcoin has more than quadrupled in value.

Kanye West may currently only be wearing all black Balencia clothing and balaclavas, but with his latest Gap clothing drop he’s counting on his fans still being interested in wearing a wide array of colors at a much more affordable price point.

We’ve had 75 percent of those customers being new to the Gap brand”

So you’ve decided to put your home on the market and go onto another step of the journey. There’s only one issue; you might not want to pay the standard seller’s broker royalty of three percent or less of the transaction price to the expert who assists with the purchase. In fact, you are confident that you do not require any expert assistance. You can do it.

It’s possible, that’s true. To Sell my house without a realtor Massachusetts, with all due regards to real property pros, establishing a fair price and arranging the properties for sale, as well as scheduling viewings, accepting and discussing bids, and ensuring all is in place for a seamless close, all take time and effort. All of this can be done by you. You will almost likely save dollars if you are fortunate. However, you must remain orderly and focused on the end goal: a successful and, preferably, profitable transaction.

Getting the House Ready to Sell

Arranging a house is the first stage in selling a house without the need for a broker. This phase is conducting a self-evaluation of what has to be taken to make your home as appealing to potential purchasers as feasible. Take a careful look over your house and imagine yourself in the eyes of a potential buyer. What would people think if they walked into your home and saw it? Is your residence likely to impress them? Disgusted? Or are you in the middle? 

The first step in appraising your home is to take out all of the junk. Clutter makes spaces feel smaller and also more walled in, in addition to not being clean. Getting rid of the trash will make the environment appear larger, more spacious, and welcoming, all of which are desirable qualities for purchasers. Ensure that all horizontal surfaces are free of debris and that they are well cleaned.

Set a Price for Your Request

The next stage in selling a property without a broker is deciding on a list price. Find out how much other residences in your neighborhood have traded for and in the market. If you overprice a home by even five percent, you’ll lose half of your potential buyers. There will be fewer offers if the number of prospects is reduced. Do your research while deciding on pricing. Know how to better price a home to entice the most potential purchasers.
