Topic: Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF Needs Ticker (Read 3283 times)
So are we talking about the index (Winkdex) or the ETF (COIN) here? I mean, COIN is a pretty catchy and smart move, I guess. Winkdex on the other hand sounds a tad silly, in my opinion. But yeah, maybe that gets people to talk about it
anymore,
winkdex.com is bad
winkdex.com is bad
What's bad about that website?
It's going to be COIN. http://www.coindesk.com/winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-trade-nasdaq-coin-symbol/

What ultimately matters is if a bitcoin ETF eventually starts trading on a stock exchange or not.
Once it starts trading on a stock exchange then trading volume will surge.
Once it starts trading on a stock exchange then trading volume will surge.
That was exactly my thought.
Also; relevant future contract on our site:
 ___________ | Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF will trade on the NASDAQ Options: Yes | No |
Don't the majority of stocks (and ETFs) trade on the NASDAQ? Even if a stock primarily trades on an other exchange it will often (always?) trade on several other exchanges. I think the only exception to this rule are stocks that are not listed on the NYSE as I think the NYSE only trades stocks that are listed there, although ARCA (owned by the NYSE) trades stocks that are listed elsewhere.
Might be a regulatory challenge to list it anywhere but the NASDAQ for now.
What would prevent it from being listed on the NYSE? How is the regulatory environment different between the nasdaq and NYSE? The trading environments are different but the regulatory environments are the same
well ... the WinkDex ticker is under WINKBTCO on Bloomberg

The following day, Burton forwarded a message to the secure email list from “a very good Google source” who claimed that Cohen “[was] off to Gaza next week”. Burton added, “Cohen, a Jew, is bound to get himself whacked….Google is not clear if Cohen is operating [with a] State Dept [or] WH [White House] license, or [is] a hippie activist.”
I would officially vote for BTC but I personally think WTF is best 
Has there been any updates on when/whether or not the ETF is approved? Or when that takes place if it's going to?

Why not BTC?
Per google finance and yahoo finance that ticker is not being used.
