#SECETFApproval The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently approved a new series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) related to cryptocurrencies, marking a historic moment for the digital asset industry. After years of hesitation and rejections, the regulatory body decided to approve several spot ETFs for Bitcoin and, for the first time, for Ethereum.

What Does a Crypto ETF Mean?

An ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is an investment vehicle that allows investors to gain exposure to an asset — such as Bitcoin or Ethereum — without the need to directly hold it. ETFs are listed on regulated exchanges, meaning that traditional investors can buy and sell shares in crypto just as they do with stocks or bonds.
