Do you intend to invest in cryptocurrency?

“We recognize cryptocurrencies’ growing importance for payments while monitoring the infrastructure development, consistent with the Bank of Canada’s 2017 research paper suggesting that central banks proceed incrementall and cautiously. We balance innovation with a thoughtful approach to launching ETFs, considering investor expectations, portfolio construction, trading and liquidity.

“I would not be putting significant amount of personal wealth [into this space] unless you are intimately engaged – maybe a developer or a technologist who is in the space already. I do think people should have exposure to it, but my view is that Bitcoin and things like that are not necessarily things you want to be chasing.
