- It operates similarly to traditional ETFs in other financial markets but instead holds cryptocurrencies directly or derivatives tied to their value.
- ETFs offer investors exposure to cryptocurrency markets without needing to directly buy, hold, or manage the underlying assets themselves.
- They trade on stock exchanges like traditional stocks, providing liquidity and ease of trading.
- ETFs in crypto provide a convenient way for investors to diversify their portfolios and gain exposure to the rapidly evolving digital asset market.
