ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 7 JUNE 2024 MAY BITCOIN AND DIGITAL ASSET EXPOSURE
DigitalX Limited ( ASX�DCC, OTCQB�DGGXF ) (“ DigitalX ”, “ the Company” ) provides the following monthly update to shareholders on its funds under management and value of Bitcoin and digital asset holdings as at the end of May 2024 .
The DigitalX Bitcoin Fund increased by 5.7% for the month, at a spot price of US$68,352, while the DigitalX Fund increased by 9.5%, compared to an increase of 9.5% for the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Equal Weight Index �AUD�(“Index”). The digital asset market outperformed the All Ordinaries Index which increased 0.5% and gold �AUD�which declined �0.9%�over the month.
On 23 May, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission �SEC�approved eight spot Ethereum ETFs. As at the end of the month applicants were in the process of finalising S�1 registration statements which are required before trading can commence on exchanges. At present the timeline for this process remains uncertain, with some analysts speculating that trading could begin as early as mid-June. The change in the outlook of approval for the US-based spot Ethereum ETFs took the market by surprise with Bloomberg analysts increasing their odds of approval for the ETFs from 25% to 75% just 2 days before the SECs decision. Ethereum experienced significant price gains after the approval of the spot ETFs, increasing �25% on the month, closing at US $3,760.
Leading up to the SECs approval of the eight spot Ethereum ETFs, the price of Bitcoin surpassed US $71,000. Spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold over one million Bitcoin, valued at over US $68 billion, which accounts for nearly 5.10% of the total circulating supply, according to a report on 28 May.
DigitalX Chief Executive Officer, Lisa Wade said:
“It was good to see a rebound in digital assets in May buoyed by the Ethereum ETF approvals and macro events. Whilst we were narrowly outperformed by the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Equal Weight index �AUD�, both our Digital Asset Fund and the Index outperformed Bitcoin. We are well positioned for an alternatives rally noting that the “Alts” space has now begun to gain steam on its own ETF narrative.
“Very pleasingly there is a lot of positive momentum in the real world asset tokenisation �RWAT�narrative and a lot of activity with institutions in this space. We are building the portfolio for this scaling up activity in 2024. Many networks and protocols appear to be incorporating RWAT strategies and gaining great momentum with early institutional testing which could prove to be pivotal as projects go live”
