Bitcoin Meets Carbon Markets: The BTCK ETF Just Went Live on NYSE Arca
7RCC's new fund packs roughly 80% Bitcoin and 20% regulated carbon credit futures into one listed ticker — no crypto exchange, no wallet required.
For years, "Bitcoin" and "carbon credits" sat on opposite sides of the investing conversation — one a high-octane digital asset, the other a tool for climate compliance. A new exchange-traded fund just put them in the same wrapper, and it started trading today.
- Live on NYSE Arca: The 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF began trading under the ticker BTCK on June 5, 2026.
- An 80/20 blend: Roughly 80% of the fund is allocated to Bitcoin and 20% to regulated carbon credit futures, tracking the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index.
- Regulated carbon exposure: The carbon side is tied to compliance markets — the EU Emissions Trading System, California Cap-and-Trade, and RGGI — not tokenized credits.
- No wallet needed: Investors can hold BTCK through ordinary brokerage accounts, without opening a crypto exchange account or managing digital wallets.
7RCC Global has launched trading of BTCK, an ETF that brings one of the crypto industry's earliest ESG-focused fund concepts to the public market. According to a report from crypto.news, the fund gives investors access to Bitcoin and carbon credit futures through a single listed product, designed to follow daily moves in both asset classes, minus expenses.
What BTCK Actually Holds
The fund splits its assets across two markets that rarely share a portfolio. About 80% sits in Bitcoin, while the remaining 20% is invested in carbon credit futures linked to regulated emissions programs. The whole basket tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index.
Carbon exposure spans the EU ETS, California Cap-and-Trade, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
That design means two very different engines drive returns. Bitcoin's side responds to adoption trends and monetary conditions, while the carbon allocation moves with emissions policy and compliance demand — exposures that have historically been awkward to hold inside one vehicle.
Why Pair Bitcoin With Carbon at All?
The pitch is built on a long-term bet that digital assets are here to stay — and that investors want them in familiar, regulated structures. 7RCC co-founder and chief executive Rali Perduhova framed the product as a transparent way to access exposures that have been difficult to combine until now.

The idea isn't brand new. Nearly two and a half years ago, 7RCC filed plans with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an ESG-oriented Bitcoin ETF using the same 80/20 model. At the time, analysts viewed it as one of the first serious attempts to merge spot Bitcoin exposure with environmental-market investing.
A Crowded Race for Differentiated Crypto ETFs
BTCK arrives as competition among crypto ETF issuers intensifies. Firms including Grayscale, 21Shares, and Bitwise have been expanding their digital-asset offerings, with issuers increasingly hunting for strategies that go beyond plain spot-crypto exposure.
Carbon markets are drawing institutional attention too. In July 2025, JPMorgan's blockchain division, Kinexys, teamed with S&P Global Commodity Insights and others to test tokenizing carbon credits on-chain. BTCK takes a more conservative route — its carbon exposure stays in regulated futures contracts rather than tokenized credits — but it lands squarely in a market where both Bitcoin and environmental commodities are pulling in serious capital.
For everyday investors, the practical hook is access: BTCK can be bought through a standard brokerage account, no crypto exchange or self-custody required. Whether the 80/20 blend becomes a template for the next wave of "theme-stacked" ETFs is the question worth watching.
