What is a spot bitcoin ETF and why it has sparked a crypto rally? | Future Focus

In this episode of Yahoo Finance Future Focus, our host Brian McGleenon explains what a spot bitcoin ETF is and how it differs from other investments.

Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have emerged as a transformative tool in the crypto market, offering investors a straightforward means to gain exposure to bitcoin's price movements.

Unlike derivatives-based ETFs, spot bitcoin ETFs directly invest in bitcoin, mirroring its current price.

With each ETF share corresponding to a specific amount of bitcoin held in reserve, these funds provide a regulated and secure gateway for both individual and institutional investors to participate in the crypto market.

The recent approval of several spot bitcoin ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in January has fueled a notable surge in bitcoin's price.

Increased inflows from major fund managers like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have further bolstered bitcoin's rally, highlighting the growing significance of spot bitcoin ETFs in shaping the cryptocurrency landscape.
