Definition ∞ An Exchange-Traded Product is a type of security that tracks an underlying asset, index, or basket of assets, trading on exchanges like stocks. In the digital asset space, crypto ETPs allow investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without directly holding the assets. They offer regulated access to digital asset markets.
Context ∞ The approval and introduction of spot Bitcoin ETPs in major markets represents a significant development for institutional and retail investors. This has intensified discussions around regulatory frameworks for other digital asset ETPs, such as Ethereum. Future developments likely involve a broader range of crypto-backed ETPs and expanded geographical availability.
