A Spot Exchange Traded Fund is an investment product that holds the actual underlying asset, such as Bitcoin, rather than derivatives or futures contracts. These funds trade on traditional stock exchanges, offering investors exposure to the asset’s real-time price movements without direct ownership. Spot ETFs provide a regulated and accessible vehicle for institutional and retail investors. They simplify investment in commodities or digital assets.
