"It looks increasingly that the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust (COIN) will actually launch.

If it hits the market later this year, it will come a decade after the inception of the world's largest gold fund, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD). COIN was modeled on GLD and in some ways is trying to be a new generation's version of gold. The cyptocurrency would move closer to the mainstream in an exchange-traded fund wrapper.

There's still no guarantee COIN will be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are more than a thousand prospectuses for ETFs sitting with the SEC, and hundreds of reserved tickers sitting with stock exchanges. And this approval would be the first of its kind -- a virtual asset."
