Could you elaborate on whether the WisdomTree bitcoin fund is subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940? Given the recent surge in interest and investments in cryptocurrency, it's crucial to understand the regulatory framework that governs such funds. The 1940 Act sets forth certain requirements for investment advisers, including registration, recordkeeping, and reporting. Clarifying this regulatory status is imperative for investors seeking transparency and accountability in their cryptocurrency investments.

However, investors should be aware that this also means there are fewer safeguards and protections compared to traditional registered funds.
