Terms & Concepts
  • Spot Bitcoin ETF: An exchange-traded fund that directly holds Bitcoin, giving investors regulated market exposure to Bitcoin’s price without owning the asset themselves.
  • Net outflows: The net amount of money leaving a fund after subtracting incoming investments from withdrawals over a given period.
  • Spot Ethereum ETFs: Exchange-traded funds designed to track Ethereum by holding the asset directly rather than using derivatives or futures contracts.
