These spot bitcoin ETFs can simplify access to Bitcoin’s price movements for almost any retail customer and traditional brokerage apps and accounts. Simultaneously, traditional financial institutions can directly invest, freeing themselves from dependence on crypto exchanges.

Spot bitcoin ETFs provide direct exposure to the digital asset itself, compared to the 2021 counterparts—bitcoin futures ETFs, which deal in derivatives.
Experts Predict the Approach; What Next?
