BitWise just became the first Bitcoin ETF to publish their on-chain address. Transparency is key and a large part of Bitcoin's ethos. Kudos to them. You know what? I'm impressed and I hope that others follow their lead.

Are they keeping ALL their BTC in that one address?

Why not? It helps their credibility. Security comes from their multisig setup.

they've only published the one address. i wouldn't see why they would want different addresses. that would make transparency harder for them.

ON A SINGLE SIG???

I’m assuming is multi, multi sig 😁

Cool!

Yeah I got it. I was confused. Thought you meant something related to the nostr 😂

this is also one of my favorite topics 🤫

retards using legacy address

It's Coinbase, what do we expect? 😂

nostr:npub12r0yjt8723ey2r035qtklhmdj90f0j6an7xnan8005jl7z5gw80qat9qrx they’re publishing this address with their daily update…

so I can just post any address and claim it's mine without even signing a message or anything? Cool! check my proof of reserves: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/1BZaYtmXka1y3Byi2yvXCDG92Tjz7ecwYj

They don't need to do this for us. The number of Bitcoin in this wallet matches the daily inflows that they're reporting in their daily reports. It would be weird as fuck to find a random address and claim it as your own and hope that it matches the volume of your regulated trades.

the problem is: can we be sure about the published amount of fiat money which they've received to buy these Bitcoin?

Yes. Because that's how it works.

so buying Bitcoin with only a fraction of the amount of fiat money is not possible? 👍

Nope. Volumes have meaning.

Hahaha bitcoiners are the best 😆

Hmm. It would be even more interesting if it was from a sanctioned address 😂

Just send them some sats from a coin mixer 😉

Very tempting

Do it! 😁
