Spot Bitcoin ETFs are investment products designed to track Bitcoin’s market price while holding the underlying asset. They allow investors to gain Bitcoin exposure through shares traded on traditional exchanges rather than directly buying, storing, and managing the cryptocurrency themselves.
Bitcoin has a fixed maximum supply, a feature that makes changes in where coins are held closely watched by market participants. As a larger share of the supply is held by spot ETFs, fewer coins may be readily available for trading in other parts of the market, potentially making liquidity conditions an important factor to monitor.
