  • The two funds have total assets of about A$1.1 million (US$710,000).

    Cosmos' bitcoin ETF was Australia's first such fund when it listed on Cboe in April. It was followed by two spot ETFs offered by 21Shares shortly after.

    The funds saw a muted start when they commenced trading with volumes well below expectations. The onset of the crypto winter in the ensuing months is likely to have damped appetite further.
