What is Bitcoin ETF?

Bitcoin ETF is an investment fund that is traded on a stock exchange. You could say that it is a combination of a mutual fund and a stock. The company represents the investment portfolio and investors access the fund by purchasing the shares. It works very similarly to a company that sells its shares on the stock market. 

With popularity greater than ever among the general public, there are many people interested in acquiring bitcoin. But many crypto-curious still view buying bitcoin from a cryptocurrency exchange as an intimidating and opaque process. The technical aspects of holding bitcoins - such as Bitcoin Wallets, bitcoin addresses, and private keys - are confusing for newcomers and scare away some investors.
