The first ethereum spot ETFs in the US began trading on July 23. These ETFs, approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, include products from well-known financial institutions such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, among others. They provide investors with exposure to the price of ethereum without needing to directly own the cryptocurrency.
Below is how those ETFs are performing today:

The first bitcoin spot ETF was approved and launched in Canada by Purpose Investments. It began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol BTCC on February 18, 2021. This was a major milestone as it marked the world's first ETF to directly own bitcoin.
However, in the US, the SEC has not yet approved a spot bitcoin ETF as of November 2024. Currently, the US market only has futures-based bitcoin ETFs, which started with the ETF from ProShares bitcoin Strategy (BITO) in October 2021.
