SkyBridge Capital, according to an SEC filing dated September 14, 2018, has added its name to the growing list of companies that seek to establish a cryptocurrency ETF in America.

First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF is expected to invest around 80% of its assets into companies that represent the crypto-industry. It will not necessarily be exposed to cryptocurrencies.

Anthony Scaramucci, CEO of First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF recently disclosed that the firm has over $700,000,000 in crypto investments. He is now looking to strengthen its position in this market.
