The 7RCC Bitcoin carbon credit ETF, trading under ticker BTCK, started trading on NYSE Arca. The fund allocates 80% of assets to Bitcoin and 20% to carbon credit futures from three regulated emissions programs: the European Union Emissions Trading System, California's Cap-and-Trade program, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. This structure gives investors exposure to both crypto and compliance carbon markets in a single listed fund. The fund took over two years to get SEC approval and is one of the first U.S. ETFs to combine Bitcoin with an ESG component through regulated carbon credits. It tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index and uses Gemini for Bitcoin custody. For carbon market watchers, BTCK offers a real-world test of whether pairing carbon allowances with a volatile digital asset can attract mainstream capital.
