In an Interview with the financial magazine, CNBC, Jan Van Eck, managing Director of VanEck first emphasized repeatedly that it is the current Version of the Bitcoin ETF to be an exclusive Version. This is tailored to institutional investors, aunt Mary and Otto normal consumer will not be able to invest accordingly:
[The ETF] is not Over-the-Counter [OTC] or on the regular stock exchanges available. Only qualified investors can invest […]. It must be an Institution […]. The can be companies, banks or hedge funds. You can theoretically put on a ETF and the Fund VanEck shopping.

These Concerns can not understand VanEck, however. He stressed that VanEck draws its courses, for Bitcoin only from regulated companies:
We have made great progress. The courses for our […] ETF come from three brokers from the USA. Are regulated, either directly or indirectly. […] They are regularly reviewed. Here there is no misconduct.
the current Version of the ETF are expected to provide the CEO of the company, first of all, the crypto-world with the traditional financial world, to bring together:
The crypto-world, and the Exchanges are completely unregulated. And the traditional world may be thinking: I don’t want to see me, I don’t want to know. […] There are two worlds that are completely isolated from each other. We try, there’s a connection.
