Exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracks the performance of underlying assets with each share traded by the fund being backed by the value of these assets.
A Bitcoin ETF is a financial product that allows investors to engage with the Bitcoin market without the need to directly own or store the cryptocurrency. This means that one can invest in Bitcoin-related assets or futures contracts, with shares being traded on conventional stock exchanges, instead of trading the crypto directly.
There are several types of Bitcoin ETFs, including spot Bitcoin ETFs that hold actual Bitcoin and directly mirror its price movements providing straightforward exposure to the cryptocurrency; Bitcoin futures ETFs that invest in Bitcoin futures contracts rather than the cryptocurrency itself; and hybrid Bitcoin ETFs that combine investments in both spot Bitcoin and futures contracts.

FAQ on Bitcoin ETF News
Does Bitcoin have an ETF?
On January 10, 2024, the SEC approved 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs. A spot Bitcoin ETF tracks the real-time price of Bitcoin, while a Bitcoin futures ETF provides exposure to the price changes of Bitcoin futures contracts through publicly traded securities.
What is the best crypto ETF?
Determining the “best” crypto ETF can depend on your investment goals, the level of risk that you’re ready to accept, and individual preferences. However, here’re some ETFs that you might consider based on performance, assets under management, and overall reputation. They include: ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), Purpose Bitcoin ETF (BTCC), Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW), Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BTF).
Why buy Bitcoin ETF instead of Bitcoin?
For the majority of investors, purchasing shares in an ETF is significantly easier than managing cryptocurrency directly. When investing in crypto directly, you must set up a digital wallet, choose a reliable exchange, link it to your bank account, and navigate the platform to buy and sell digital assets. When it touches upon Bitcoin ETF, you can skip the majority of this.
What is the Fidelity Bitcoin ETF?
Fidelity’s ETF, the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF (FBTC), primarily invests in Bitcoin held in custody by Fidelity’s digital assets arm. Like other Bitcoin ETFs, its purpose is to provide a secure and simplified way for investors to interact with the crypto market without dealing with the complexities of buying and storing Bitcoin directly.
Is Bitx a good ETF?
The Bitx Bitcoin ETF invests in cash-backed Bitcoin futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. As a non-diversified fund, it concentrates on a limited range of assets, potentially leading to higher risk compared to diversified investments. Additionally, futures contracts come with risks such as contango or backwardation, which can impact the ETF’s performance relative to Bitcoin’s price. However, the fund benefits from regulatory oversight and transparency provided by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
