Their value directly corresponds to the spot market price of the crypto asset.
Context ∞ The approval and launch of spot crypto exchange products are significant milestones for the digital asset industry, attracting traditional investors. News reports frequently cover regulatory decisions regarding these products, particularly spot Bitcoin ETFs in major markets. Debates often focus on market surveillance, price manipulation concerns, and the adequacy of investor protection within these offerings.
