Spot bitcoin ETF is a type of investment instrument that represents the value of bitcoin and is traded on conventional stock markets such as Nasdaq, NYSE and CBOE etc. So investors do not physically own Bitcoin. Similar to mutual funds where investors entrust their funds to an investment manager to manage. If you invest in a Bitcoin ETF, you don't need to buy Bitcoin directly, but take ownership in a mutual fund that holds your Bitcoin and currently ETFs are considered to have more transparent regulations compared to crypto exchanges. Publishers will charge around 0.2% to 0.8%.

How does it work?
As explained above, the way Bitcoin ETFs work is similar to mutual funds traded on stock exchanges. In general, ETF issuers or asset management companies buy the underlying asset in the form of Bitcoin which is stored in a custodian, after which the issuer issues stocks so that they can be accessed by investors who are stored in mutual funds. So if you invest in a Bitcoin ETF then you are actually buying shares in Bitcoin.

What is the Bitcoin Spot ETF Price?
The value of Bitcoin ETF shares will follow the price of Bitcoin in the crypto market, if the price of Bitcoin rises then the price of Bitcoin ETF also rises and vice versa.
