Single Asset Trusts

Definition ∞ Single Asset Trusts are investment vehicles designed to hold and track the value of a single underlying asset, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. These trusts allow investors to gain exposure to the price movements of a specific digital asset without the complexities of direct ownership. Shares in these trusts are typically traded on traditional stock exchanges.
Context ∞ Single Asset Trusts are a popular method for institutional and retail investors to access digital assets through regulated financial products. A key discussion involves the premium or discount at which these trusts trade relative to their underlying asset, and the impact of market demand. Future developments will likely include the launch of more single asset trusts for various cryptocurrencies as regulatory clarity improves.
