How Can a Cryptocurrency-Focused ETF Be Structured to Track the Price of Bitcoin?

A Bitcoin ETF can be structured in a few ways. A spot ETF holds actual Bitcoin, directly tracking its price.

A futures ETF holds Bitcoin futures contracts, providing exposure without direct custody of the cryptocurrency. Other structures may involve holding equities of companies heavily invested in Bitcoin or offering inverse exposure.

Regulatory approval often dictates the permissible structure.
