7RCC Launches BTCK ETF on NYSE Arca with 80% Bitcoin and 20% Carbon Credit Exposure

7RCC’s BTCK ETF brings Bitcoin and regulated carbon credits to NYSE Arca 7RCC Global has launched BTCK, an exchange-traded fund that blends spot Bitcoin exposure with regulated carbon credit futures, marking one of the crypto sector’s earliest ESG-focused ETF concepts to reach the public market. The product began trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker BTCK and tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index, aiming to mirror daily value changes in both asset classes, net of expenses. What’s in the fund - Allocation: roughly 80% Bitcoin, 20% carbon credit futures. - Carbon exposure: futures tied to major regulated markets, including the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), California Cap-and-Trade, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). - Structure: listed ETF that provides these combined exposures without requiring investors to hold crypto wallets or open accounts on digital-asset exchanges. Why it matters BTCK departs from standard spot Bitcoin ETFs by combining cryptocurrency exposure with regulated environmental commodities. Bitcoin’s performance is driven by adoption and macro/monetary forces, while the carbon futures leg is shaped by emissions policy and compliance demand—giving investors a single product that mixes two distinct market drivers. 7RCC says the vehicle offers transparent access to exposures that can be difficult to replicate within a single investment structure. Company comment and origins “ We started 7RCC because we believed digital assets would become a permanent part of the global financial system and that investors would want them in familiar, regulated structures built for the long term,” said Rali Perduhova, co-founder and CEO of 7RCC Global. Perduhova emphasized that BTCK combines “two asset classes driven by distinct market forces.” Regulatory and market context 7RCC initially filed with the U.S. SEC for an ESG-oriented Bitcoin ETF using this 80/20 model about two and a half years ago—an early attempt to fuse spot Bitcoin with environmental market investments that drew attention from ETF analysts. The launch comes amid intensifying competition among ETF issuers—firms like Grayscale, 21Shares and Bitwise have been expanding their product sets and experimenting with differentiated strategies beyond plain-vanilla spot crypto exposure. Carbon markets are also drawing institutional interest. In July 2025 Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan’s Kinexys unit worked with S&P Global Commodity Insights, EcoRegistry and the International Carbon Registry to explore tokenizing carbon credits on blockchain infrastructure to improve transparency and record-keeping. BTCK, however, keeps its carbon allocation in regulated futures contracts rather than tokenized credits. Operational details and counterparties - BTCK is a series of Teucrium Commodity Trust, sponsored by Teucrium Trading LLC, with PINE Distributors LLC as marketing agent. - Gemini Trust Company holds the fund’s Bitcoin. - U.S. Bank serves as cash custodian and administrator. - The index is administered by Kaiko and calculated by Solactive AG. Implications for investors BTCK could appeal to investors seeking regulated, ETF-style access to Bitcoin while also expressing exposure to carbon-market dynamics—without the custody and operational overhead of directly holding digital assets. As crypto-linked ETF strategies proliferate, BTCK represents a niche ESG-flavored approach that may attract those looking to pair crypto upside with environmental-commodity exposure.
