Part 6/18:
Questions about reporting standards for ETF issuers are prominent. The host clarifies that regulators like the SEC enforce quarterly and sometimes daily disclosures, including Bitcoin holdings and backing. Tools like NASDAQ integrations and Coinbase review help verify holdings, ensuring transparency and reducing fraudulent issuance.
Arbitrage and Price Discrepancies
Despite regulatory safeguards, delays in reporting and market swings create arbitrage opportunities—differences between ETF prices and Bitcoin's actual market value. The host highlights that tracking these discrepancies can give traders an edge, but current delays make precise arbitrage challenging. Big funds actively watch these margins, and third-party products are being developed to help detect these patterns.
