CFB Talks Digital Assets - Episode 12

Our guest on the latest CFB Talks Digital Assets is Jeff Yew, founder and CEO of Monochrome — and one of the most influential and respected leaders of Australia’s institutional crypto industry.

The main topic was Monochrome Bitcoin Trust (IBTC), the only fund authorised under Australia’s crypto product licensing rules.

Highlights of our stimulating and educational chat:

  • Why did Monochrome choose the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR) as IBTC’s benchmark?
  • What makes IBTC Australia’s first, and only, authorised crypto fund?
  • Although IBTC is a retail-targeted fund, it’s seeing a lot of institutional interest - how come?
    What makes the BRR’s 4:00 PM London calculation time ideal for striking IBTC’s NAV?
