SEC Filing Reveals ETF That Seeks to Bet on Bitcoin After Hours

The Form N-1A, submitted on Tuesday, proposes to add two ETFs to the existing fund. These include Nicholas Bitcoin and Treasuries AfterDark ETF and Nicholas Bitcoin Tail ETF.

According to the registration statement, the AfterDark ETF will not hold BTC directly. Instead, it will gain exposure through investments in Bitcoin futures, Bitcoin options, and Bitcoin ETFs or ETPs listed in the US.

It may utilize a Cayman Islands subsidiary to manage its positions. The objective is to pursue long-term capital appreciation through a systematic approach that targets Bitcoin’s overnight return profile. Meanwhile, the fund will hold short-term US Treasuries and cash equivalents during the daytime trading period. 

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas discussed the strategy in a recent X (formerly Twitter) post. He noted that internal research conducted last year showed a significant share of Bitcoin’s gains occurring during after-hours trading.

This filing appears as industry watchers highlight alleged price manipulation during US daytime trading hours. Analysts have identified a recurring pattern of Bitcoin price drops around the market’s opening.

Bitcoin ETF Flows and Investor Sentiment Shift

Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs have been under significant pressure in the fourth quarter. Data from SoSoValue showed that monthly outflows reached a record $3.48 billion in November. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF accounted for the largest share, recording $2.34 billion in outflows.

The heavy withdrawals coincided with a steep decline in Bitcoin’s price, which fell 17.4% in November, its worst monthly performance of the year. This has impacted investor confidence and contributed to renewed caution across digital asset markets.

Outflows extended into December, with another $87.77 million leaving spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first week of the month. Still, the trend showed some signs of stabilizing. On December 9, the funds posted a notable rebound, drawing $151.74 million in inflows.

Trump to start final Fed chair interviews beginning with Kevin Warsh

Trump to start final Fed chair interviews beginning with Kevin Warsh

The post Trump to start final Fed chair interviews beginning with Kevin Warsh appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Donald Trump will begin the final interviews of candidates for the Federal Reserve chair this week, putting back on track the formal selection process that began this summer. “We’re going to be looking at a couple different people, but I have a pretty good idea of who I want,” Trump said Tuesday night aboard Air Force One to reporters. The interviews by Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will begin with former Fed governor Kevin Warsh on Wednesday and also include Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, at some point, according to two sources. It restarts the process that was derailed a bit last week when interviews with candidates were abruptly canceled. Trump said recently he knew who he was going to pick to replace current Chair Jerome Powell, and prediction markets overwhelmingly believed it would be Hassett. But his possible selection received some pushback from the markets recently, especially among fixed income investors concerned Hassett would only do Trump’s bidding and keep rates too low even if inflation snaps back. So it’s unclear if these interviews are a sign Trump has changed his mind or just the final stage of the formal process. CNBC first reported in October that Trump had narrowed the candidate list down to five people. Four of those five will be part of these final interviews. The group also includes current Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman as well as BlackRock fixed income chief Rick Rieder. The Fed will likely lower rates for a third time this year on Wednesday, but Powell, whose term as chair is up in May, is expected to strike a cautious tone at his post-meeting press conference on how much lower the central bank will go next year. The Fed’s latest forecast released in September called…
