Winklevoss twins pitch their bitcoin ETF to gold bugs

HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (MarketWatch) — If you have gold in your portfolio, you should consider investing in bitcoin, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss said Monday.

The twin brothers are working to launch an ETF that provides exposure to the volatile virtual currency.

“If you look at the GLD gold ETF, basically that’s our model,” Tyler Winklevoss said. The SPDR Gold Trust GLD, +0.27% is one of the world’s largest exchange-traded funds.

The twins went even further in praising bitcoin, saying it’s an improvement on gold. They said its advantages include being more durable and more portable, plus the brothers emphasized that a fixed supply of bitcoin is built into the rules for the digital currency.

The comments came as the Winklevoss twins headlined a session Monday at ETF.com’s Inside ETFs conference in Hollywood, Fla. The brothers, who are still best known for their legal fight with Mark Zuckerberg over Facebook’s FB, -0.92% origins, have turned into significant players in the world of bitcoin.

Tyler Winklevoss said a bitcoin ETF will let investors offload how they keep track of their bitcoin assets to professionals — just like how you wouldn’t keep gold at home.

The twins also argued that bitcoin’s checkered reputation is the result of a few bad actors. Tyler Winklevoss criticized media coverage, saying “don’t listen to the linkbait, flashy headlines” but instead really dig into what it is.

Bitcoin endured a rough 2014, when its price dropped by about two-thirds, according to a CoinDesk price index, which factors in data from several bitcoin exchanges.

Winklevoss Twins Plan Regulated US Bitcoin Exchange

The Winklevoss brothers have revealed plans for a fully-regulated US bitcoin exchange called Gemini, saying they will be financing the venture from their own pockets.

The company, named after the Latin word and zodiac sign for twins, as well as NASA's precursor to the moon-shot Apollo program, promises to be a "next-generation bitcoin exchange".

Gemini is aimed squarely at the sensibilities of individual and institutional US customers who have had reservations about bitcoin's legitimacy or are reluctant to wire money overseas to obtain it.

- As the Winklevoss twins’ bitcoin ETF moves regulatory approval process, the duo filed an updated Form S-1 statement with the SEC on Tuesday (the form used to register securities). This is the fourth amendment to the form, and the most prominent thing to come out of it is that they’ve picked a ticker symbol. Shares in the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust will be registered under the symbol COIN (we were surprised to learn that nobody had it, but nobody did), according to the amendment, which is dated July 1 (a year to the day of the initial filing, incidentally). They will trade on the Nasdaq OMX, as announced back in May. Most of the other changes comprise minor tweaks. In a section talking about government regulations, they add Switzerland as a government that’s moving toward clearer regulations, and note Bolivia’s central bank banned bitcoin. There are a few additions to the risk factors. One notes that since the core bitcoin developers aren’t paid for their work (in general), they could, possibly, stop maintaining the protocol. In a section describing the danger of a 51% attack, they add a discussion of the recent news that GHash.io recently touched the 50% mark. The ETF is still winding its way through the SEC’s approval process. “Under the securities laws we are not permitted to discuss timing to launch or effectiveness,” Cameron Winklevoss said. “However, identifying the ticker symbol and the exchange are two major events that further demonstrate that we are moving forward as expected.” (Paul Vigna)
