7RCC Global has launched a new hybrid ETF that combines Bitcoin exposure with regulated carbon credit futures, bringing an early ESG-focused crypto concept to the public markets. The 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF began trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker BTCK.
Key facts
- Allocation: ~80% Bitcoin, ~20% carbon credit futures.
- Index: Tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index and is designed to follow daily changes in the combined value of both asset classes, minus fees.
- Carbon credit sources: Futures tied to regulated emissions markets including the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), California Cap-and-Trade, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
- Custody and administration: Gemini Trust Company holds the fund’s Bitcoin; U.S. Bank serves as cash custodian and administrator. BTCK is a series of Teucrium Commodity Trust, sponsored by Teucrium Trading LLC; PINE Distributors LLC is the marketing agent. The index is administered by Kaiko and calculated by Solactive AG.
Why it matters
BTCK diverges from conventional spot Bitcoin ETFs by pairing cryptocurrency exposure with regulated environmental commodities. 7RCC says the fund combines two asset classes driven by distinct forces — Bitcoin by adoption and monetary dynamics, carbon credits by emissions policies and compliance demand — offering a single, regulated vehicle for investors who want both exposures without managing digital wallets or exchange accounts.
Context and background
- The ETF revives a concept 7RCC first filed with the SEC roughly two-and-a-half years ago: an ESG-oriented BTC product built on an 80/20 split. Industry analysts at the time flagged it as one of the earliest attempts to merge spot Bitcoin with environmental-market investments.
- The launch comes amid intensifying competition in crypto ETFs, with issuers like Grayscale, 21Shares and Bitwise rolling out new and differentiated digital-asset products in recent months.
- Interest in carbon-related financial products is also growing. In July 2025 Bloomberg reported JPMorgan’s Kinexys exploring tokenized carbon credits with partners such as S&P Global Commodity Insights and the International Carbon Registry — a different route from BTCK’s use of regulated futures rather than tokenized credits.
Quote
“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 described BTCK as a transparent way to access two asset classes that have historically been hard to hold together in one vehicle.
How investors can access it
BTCK is available on NYSE Arca and can be bought through any brokerage that lists ETFs — no crypto exchange account or wallet required.
Bottom line
BTCK represents a novel blend of crypto and environmental commodities, offering a regulated, exchange-listed path for investors seeking both Bitcoin exposure and participation in compliance-driven carbon markets.
