7RCC Global launched its 7RCC Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF this week on NYSE Arca under the ticker BTCK, combining 80% bitcoin exposure with 20% carbon credit futures in a single exchange-traded product. The fund provides access to bitcoin and regulated emissions markets including the European Union Emissions Trading System, California Cap-and-Trade, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative through a structure designed to meet growing investor demand for ESG-focused crypto products. The launch adds to a crypto ETF market where issuers are seeking differentiation beyond standard spot bitcoin funds, pairing digital asset exposure with environmental commodity markets that have drawn increasing attention from major financial institutions.
BTCK Allocates 80% Bitcoin and 20% Carbon Credit Futures
BTCK tracks the 7RCC Kaiko Bitcoin Carbon Credit Index and follows daily changes in the value of its underlying assets, minus fees and expenses. About 80% of fund assets are allocated to bitcoin, while the remaining 20% is invested in carbon credit futures tied to the European Union Emissions Trading System, California Cap-and-Trade, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
Gemini Trust Company holds the fund's bitcoin, while U.S. Bank serves as cash custodian and administrator. Investors can buy BTCK through brokerage accounts that support listed ETFs, without opening crypto exchange accounts or managing digital wallets.
Rali Perduhova, co-founder and CEO of 7RCC Global, said the firm believes that digital assets would become a lasting part of global finance. She said investors want access to those assets through regulated structures designed for long-term use. Perduhova described BTCK as a transparent way to hold two exposures that have historically been difficult to combine in one investment vehicle.
7RCC Filed SEC Application Nearly Two and a Half Years Ago
The product has been years in the making. Nearly two and a half years ago, 7RCC filed 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 the proposal as one of the first serious attempts to pair spot bitcoin exposure with environmental commodities.
Carbon markets have drawn growing attention from major financial institutions. In July 2025, JPMorgan's blockchain unit Kinexys worked with S&P Global Commodity Insights, Ecoregistry, and the International Carbon Registry to test tokenized carbon credits on blockchain infrastructure. BTCK does not use tokenized credits — its carbon exposure comes through regulated futures contracts.
