There are two key differences between those ETFs and what I have in mind. (1) Those are very narrow futures that map mostly to a single product. What I am thinking of is a trade-weighted index of the top 20 global futures. The ETF is meant to be a stable store of value and above all else effectively represents the net health of the global economy. For example, as inflation goes up, the bonds components will fall, but the commodities will rise, countering the cyclical effects. The ETF will go up/down based on total wealth creation/destruction rather than the shift in fortunes. (2) Those ETFs are not designed to be high volume and/or replacements for settlements.
