✅ What Is a Bitcoin ETF?
An ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is like a bundle of assets (stocks, gold, crypto) that you can buy and sell on traditional stock markets, just like shares.
Now, a Bitcoin ETF allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without actually owning or managing the crypto itself.
Here is how it works:
You buy the ETF through your stockbroker.
The ETF reflects the price of Bitcoin.
No need to set up a wallet or worry about private keys.
✅ Good for:
Traditional investors who want exposure to Bitcoin.
Institutions that can’t directly hold crypto yet.
Those who prefer regulated platforms.
⚠️ Keep in mind:
You don’t own the actual BTC. So you miss out on things like self-custody or using it in DeFi.
📌 Why It Matters:
Bitcoin ETFs gives more adoption.
They signal growing trust in crypto from Wall Street and big institutions.
