VanEck’s Garbor Gurbacs, who is the Director of Digital Asset Strategy, recently discussed the bitcoin market’s transparency levels in comparison to equities and commodities and how a Bitcoin ETF can resolve issues in the market. The discussion took place on a WhatBitcoinDid episode.

Concerning the ETF, Gurbacs commented that it would resolve pricing and that it would solidify the need for securities commodities. As he stated,

He continued by adding that there are a number of commodities, like oil, that have grey areas when it comes to foreign influence. He mentioned,

Gurbacs also stated that investment management firms have been promoting bitcoin transparency in terms of pricing and they have also worked to ensure that bitcoin developers in a healthy manner.
