<p>A Bitcoin ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a financial product that tracks the value of Bitcoin on a market exchange platform. Unlike buying Bitcoin directly, investing in a Bitcoin ETF allows you to gain exposure to Bitcoin without the need for a crypto exchange account. <span>These ETFs trade on traditional stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), making it more accessible to a wider range of investors.</span></p> </div>

<p dir="ltr">When you invest in a Bitcoin ETF, the ETF provider uses your investment to purchase Bitcoin from a cryptocurrency market maker. </p><p dir="ltr">The Bitcoin purchased is then securely stored in offline cold storage to ensure its safety. The ETF shares you purchase represent holdings in a specific amount of Bitcoin. </p><p dir="ltr">As the price of Bitcoin fluctuates, the value of your ETF shares will also fluctuate accordingly. The goal of a Bitcoin ETF is to track the performance of Bitcoin, minus any fees.</p><p dir="ltr">It’s important to note that Bitcoin ETFs charge ongoing fees, such as management fees, administrative expenses, operational costs, and marketing fees. </p><p dir="ltr">These fees are collectively known as the Management Expense Ratio (MER) and are deducted from your investment on an annual basis. </p><p dir="ltr">Before investing in a Bitcoin ETF, it’s crucial to understand and evaluate the MER to ensure it aligns with your investment goals</p> </div>
