Exchange-traded funds are investment funds that are traded on stock exchanges, much like individual stocks. They typically hold a basket of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, designed to track the performance of a specific index. In the context of digital assets, crypto exchange-traded funds allow investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without directly holding the underlying assets. These funds offer a regulated and familiar investment vehicle for a broader audience.
