How To Invest in Bitcoin & Ether Funds?

2 min read | April 23, 2021 01:28 AM AEST | By Anuj

Crypto markets are volatile and keeping a watch on them round the clock is impossible. However, the Toronto Stock Exchange-listed crypto funds provide an exposure to real-time bitcoin and ether token prices.

Earlier this year, TSX became the world’s first major exchange to allow the listing of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These ETFs are managed by asset management firms.

Investors can easily invest in these bitcoin and ether funds through their brokerage accounts. Hence, investors would not need to go to anonymous blockchain to create digital assets.

Meanwhile, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is yet to allow the trading of crypto-focused ETFs. CI Global Asset Management recently has refiled an approval request for Bitcoin ETFs with the SEC.  

Here are five bitcoin and ether funds options to explore:

  1. Purpose Ether ETF (TSX: ETHH.U)
  2. CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF (TSX: ETHX.B)
  3. Ether ETF (TSX: ETHR.U)
  4. Bitcoin ETF (TSX: EBIT)
  5. Purpose Bitcoin ETF (TSX: BTCC.B)

 

How Do Crypto Funds Work?

 

The above-mentioned ether and bitcoin funds eclipse the crypto token prices, letting their unitholders trade in the cryptocurrency market without holding any digital currency or token per se.

Investing in crypto ETFs reduces the fear of fraud and virtual token storage issues. These funds are more reliable than crypto coins because they operate under radar of the Canadian Securities regulation.

Investors can buy and sell these ETFs through their conventional exchanges. Investors can short sell these ETFs just like crypto, but there is an exception. Unlike cryptocurrency exchanges, traditional stock markets allow transactions during fixed market hours.

When it comes to volatility, these funds would follow the crypto market’s course. Hence, there would be a double-digit gain or overnight loss as cryptocurrencies trade round the clock.

The world’s first bitcoin Purpose Bitcoin ETF (TSX: BTCC.B) has already garnered more than C$ 1.4 billion in assets. Its newly launched Purpose Ether ETF (TSX: ETHH.U) grew more than 10 per cent in the last two-day trading, following Ethereum’s token rally.
