The 3iQ Global Cryptoasset Fund is an institutional quality portfolio that offers accredited investors core exposure to bitcoin, ether and litecoin.
The Trust will invest substantially all of its assets in cryptoassets including bitcoin, ether and litecoin. Cryptoassets are most commonly broken down into subsets which include cryptocurrencies, digital commodities (cryptocommodities), such as computing storage space, bandwidth and processing power, and digital tokens (cryptotokens) used to provision digital services. The prefix “crypto” is an abbreviation and is derived from the underlying key technology of digital asset systems: cryptography. Cryptography is the science of securely transmitting data so that only intended recipients can make use of it. Bitcoin was first established in 2008 to represent a store of value as a response to the inflation of money supply that accommodated the financial crisis. The Bitcoin Network promised a mechanism to securely transfer value and a mathematically metered and predictable creation of bitcoin. The consensus network that enables secure digital transactions and payments is itself the innovation.
