Spot Crypto ETFs are exchange-traded funds that directly hold the underlying cryptocurrency assets, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. These investment vehicles provide investors with exposure to the real-time price movements of digital assets without requiring direct ownership or management of private keys. They are structured to track the spot market price of the held cryptocurrency, offering a regulated and accessible pathway for traditional investors. The creation and redemption mechanism ensures that the ETF’s market price closely aligns with the net asset value of its underlying holdings.
