Monochrome Boosts Transparency with Hoseki Partnership

In a move to enhance transparency, Monochrome Asset Management has partnered with Hoseki to implement daily proof-of-reserves verification for the $IBTC ETF. This makes it the first Australian spot Bitcoin ETF to offer such a feature.

Hoseki’s verification system will provide independent confirmation of the ETF’s Bitcoin holdings, giving investors real-time assurance of reserves. This step is expected to raise the bar for transparency and trust within the Australian Bitcoin ETF landscape.

Following the Monochrome movement into the crypto market, Bitcoin’s price saw a decrease of 0.45% over the previous day. Despite this, as of the press time, Bitcoin was trading at $57,988.81.
