Best Cryptocurrency ETFs

Bitcoin has been all the rage over the past few years as cryptocurrency continues to gain widespread adoption among companies and investors. Investors are not necessarily using Bitcoin as a currency but instead as a store of value as the Fed continues to print money at will. In addition, major developments like NFTs, crypto exchanges, and the popularity of alternative cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and Solana have brought widespread coverage to the asset class with Bitcoin remaining the king of all the cryptos.

While Canada has been able to get through several direct Bitcoin ETFs, U.S. investors need to be creative to gain exposure to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through an ETF as several U.S. Bitcoin ETFs are pending with the SEC.

Below are ETFs that U.S investors can buy in 2021 that give them exposure to Bitcoin and other cryptocoins:
