What is a Cryptocurrency ETF#
Here, we take Bitcoin ETF as an example.
In traditional investments, an ETF is a form of investment that tracks the price of an asset or a group of assets. ETF represents a simple way to invest in multiple assets at the same time without actually owning the above assets.
Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) allows buyers to invest in Bitcoin without purchasing the actual asset. What you own is a fund that tracks Bitcoin rather than owning Bitcoin itself, but the returns are the same. This investment method simplifies the purchasing process, as users can participate without registering on exchanges or using crypto wallets.
