Twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of crypto exchange Gemini, first proposed an ETF in June 2016.

Since then, several companies, including VanEck and Cboe, have submitted proposals to the regulatory agency, only to be rejected by the SEC.

An ETF is an investment fund that is traded like a stock, which means that people can buy or sell it as long as the market is open.

Mutual funds and other investment products work differently, with traders only getting in at the end of the day.

The Bitcoin ETF tracks the price of Bitcoin, allowing investors interested in the cryptocurrency to get exposure without bothering to hold it themselves.

Meaning, traders buy shares not bitcoin but shares based on the value of bitcoin.

In general, a Bitcoin ETF may be a universally accessible investment tool, unlike “Grayscale” funds, which are geared and open to accredited investors only, with a minimum investment of $25,000, and buyers are not allowed to trade their shares for six months.

While US regulators have yet to approve a Bitcoin ETF, the regulatory landscape is changing.
