💡 What’s an ETF?

ETF = Exchange-Traded Fund

✅ It’s a basket of assets (like stocks, commodities, or cryptocurrencies) bundled into one product that you can buy or sell on an exchange, just like a stock.

✅ Instead of buying individual assets, you buy shares of the ETF, which gives you exposure to all the assets inside.

📊 Example (Crypto ETF)

Let’s say there’s a Bitcoin ETF.

Instead of buying Bitcoin directly, you buy shares of the ETF.

The ETF holds Bitcoin on your behalf.

You get the price exposure without worrying about wallets, custody, or blockchain transfers.

⚙ Why People Like ETFs

No need to manage the underlying asset (like storage or security for crypto).

🚀 Crypto ETFs in 2025 Context

Recently, Bitcoin ETFs (like BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark) have been approved in several countries, boosting crypto’s legitimacy.

Ethereum ETFs are also launching — allowing investors to get ETH price exposure easily.

✅ In short:

An ETF is a simple, regulated investment product that lets you benefit from asset price moves — like crypto — without directly holding the coins.
