Many of the crypto-curious still view buying Bitcoin from a crypto exchange as an intimidating and opaque process.

‘You Can See the Demand Out There for Bitcoin’: Franklin Templeton CEO

Despite calling Bitcoin the greatest distraction from blockchain—which she described as one of the greatest disruptions in financial services—Franklin Templeton President and CEO Jenny Johnson said she's still on board. “A lot of people took that as I'm not a believer in Bitcoin,” Johnson told CNBC. “And yet, launching this ETF, you can see, obviously, the demand that's out there for Bitcoin, and I think there's a lot of reasons why that is.” As an example, she pointed to the increasingly preval...

This Week on Crypto Twitter: The ETF Circus Comes to Town

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt It was the craziest week crypto has had in a long time. And that’s saying quite a lot.  After months of escalating anticipation, the crypto community entered this week expecting it to finally—after years of waiting—deliver the first approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in Wall Street’s history.  Nerves were at an all time high, with potentially trillions of dollars worth of asset exposure to Bitcoin on the line. Then, a full day before analysts predicted the ve...

These Are All the Bitcoin ETFs That Are Now Trading in the US

Since the first application for a U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded fund was filed in 2013, a spot Bitcoin ETF has become something of a holy grail for the crypto community. And now it’s finally here. An ETF is a publicly traded investment vehicle that tracks the value of an underlying asset; in the case of a Bitcoin ETF, that asset is Bitcoin. Advocates for a Bitcoin ETF argue that the complexities of exchanges, crypto wallets, and private keys still present a daunting barrier to entry into the cryp...

Bitcoin ETFs Start With a Bang: $4.5 Billion on Day One of Trading

Day one for the newly minted spot Bitcoin ETFs is in the books—and it did not disappoint. The freshman BTC funds managed to clear $4.5 billion worth of volume and hit a few standout milestones. If that sounds like a big number, it’s because it is. Despite all the hullabaloo, market observers did not expect such a big debut across the board. “Even attaining $500 million in day-one inflows is a noteworthy challenge,” Adam Guren, co-founder of crypto hedge fund Hunting Hill Digital, told Decrypt in...

How to Buy a Bitcoin ETF

Now that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has finally approved the first round of spot Bitcoin ETFs, investors are wondering how to get their hands on these new investment products. Exchange-traded products (ETP) cover a broad category of investment vehicles, which includes exchange-traded funds, commodities, and notes. But it’s often the case that the terms ETP and ETF get used interchangeably. An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment traded on exchanges, much like stock...

Bitcoin ETFs Notch $1.9B in Trading Volume—But Merrill Lynch, Vanguard Won’t List

Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. are off to a raucous start. It’s only midday, and already the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs just yesterday approved by the SEC have combined for $1.9 billion worth of trading volume, exceeding analyst expectations. Despite spiking to nearly $49,000 just after markets opened in the U.S., Bitcoin was relatively subdued on Thursday. At the time of writing, it was changing hands at $46,610.54, according to CoinGecko. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Orig...
