One of the funds, the Cosmos Purpose Bitcoin Access ETF from Cosmos Asset Management, tracks the Purpose Bitcoin ETF on the Toronto stock exchange.
The remaining two funds were launched by Australian ETFS Management Ltd. and Swiss 21Shares AG spot-trade Bitcoin and Ether by tracking the crypto asset directly.
While the ETFs were originally slated for release in April, brokerage concerns resulted in last minute delays.
However, the launch of the ETFs come at a turbulent time for the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both hitting their lowest points in 2022.
