What is BlackRock's ETF?
What are Bitcoin ETFs?
Firstly, Forbes (2023) identifies how the SEC currently has only accepted Bitcoin ETFs that track futures contracts, with indirect exposure to the cryptocurrency. Investopedia (2023) details how BlackRock and others aim to gain approval for an ETF that directly invests in the cryptocurrency. CF Benchmarks (2023) illustrates that BlackRock’s ETF aims to do this through tracking the current price of Bitcoin using the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate and Coinbase's custodian services to achieve this. These, daily spot prices reflect the cryptocurrencies performance in financial markets. The spot Bitcoin ETF is a product distinct from current competition in the market.
The term ETF stands for Exchange-Traded Funds Singh (2023) explains a Bitcoin ETF is a financial asset which allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin's price fluctuations without investing into the cryptocurrency. The investor does not need to own a digital wallet or forgo cryptocurrency exchanges
