Would it be much of a hassle for a US based investor to buy the certificate I mentioned? Based in Germany I can trade internationally on basically any exchange I want to with my online broker. Is this different for you in the US?

<p>The Winklevoss ETF and the SEC decisions regarding it seem to be on everyone's lips and the influence of the bitcoin price are apparent.</p>

<p>However there seems to be this tracker certificate already:

(Site is in German, sorry. Basically a tracker certifate on BTC/EUR with a factor of 1/10. ISIN: DE000VN5MJG9)</p>

<p>Why do I not see it anywhere in the news and why is the Winklevoss ETF so important then?</p>

Why is the Winklevoss ETF decision so important, when this tracker certificate already exists?
