Bitcoin ETF News & Analysis Today

A Bitcoin ETF is an investment fund that trades on regular stock exchanges and follows the price of Bitcoin. Instead of buying the cryptocurrency directly and dealing with wallets or exchanges, investors can buy shares of the ETF through their brokerage accounts. This makes it easier for traditional investors to get exposure to Bitcoin. There are two main types. A futures-based ETF doesn’t hold Bitcoin itself but tracks contracts that bet on its future price. These contracts have expiry dates, and the fund constantly rolls them over. A spot ETF, on the other hand, would directly track the actual market price of Bitcoin by holding the asset itself, but so far the U.S. SEC has been cautious about approving such products. Companies like BlackRock and Fidelity have filed applications, raising hopes that approval might finally happen.
