This ETF, which carries a 0.59% management fee, allows investors to gain exposure to bitcoin without directly owning btc, thereby reducing the complexities and risks associated with direct ownership.
“While it has been possible to trade bitcoin through crypto exchanges, trading units with bitcoin exposure through an ETF on an exchange like ASX means you can buy and sell those units through a traditional brokerage account, simplifying the process and opening up the opportunity for more Australians,” said Andrew Campion, ASX general manager of investment products and strategy.
