The Katana program had a gross return of 10.56% for August. Bitcoin price volatility returned to the market after six weeks of sideways movement around the 30,000 USD price.

On 17 August Bitcoin fell over 7% as US 10yr notes rose to 4.32% just shy of a 15-year high. The rise in rates saw risk asset prices sell off and our program captured a good portion of the move.
The US appeals court found that the Grayscale ETF was treated differently than similar products, such as Bitcoin futures ETFs. If the appeals court’s ruling stands, it may open the door for other Bitcoin ETFs. Firms such as BlackRock and Fidelity have applied for their own ETFs. The SEC has 45 days to appeal this ruling.
Bullish price action from 26,000 to 28,000 after the verdict was short-lived though as the move retraced back to 26,000.
