For much of its history, gold was relatively difficult to invest in for the average

person , largely because of its physical demands (transportation, storage, etc.). Gold Bullion Securities, the first goldbacked ETF, launched on the Australian Stock Exchange in March 2003. The rise of Gold ETFs has coincided with the

appreciation in the price of Gold and with similar acquisition and storage difficulties with Bitcoin.

A retail Bitcoin ETF will be one of the strongest drivers of new flow to the asset class

01

Demographics:

Measures of government distrust among Millennials and Generation Z are high. Most Millennials and all of Gen Z are digital natives who are comfortable with holding value digitally.

We identify three main drivers of Bitcoin demand going forward

==> picture [61 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

02

Institutions, ETFs and traders:

All major banks and many corporates have experimented with digital assets. Institutions such as Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) group have grown large futures markets in Bitcoin.

QE and financial instability: 03

Over the past 5 years, Bitcoin prices have responded positively to financial uncertainty events such as Brexit, while the growth of the asset itself happened in the wake of the GFC.

Bitcoin has been heavily used as a hedging asset in China and other nations experiencing financial instability and inflationary pressures like gold has been used previously.

Return of QE policies and weakening growth is expected to spur further demand amongst those seeking a hedge against value erosion or financial instability, especially amongst younger savers.
