TD₿: What Bitcoin ETFs Mean for You - (a Swan blog article) by Tomer Strolight
TL;DR: Bitcoin ETF's are here!
Hey Bitcoiners,
We have heard “the institutions are coming, the institutions are coming” for a few years without them showing up. That day has finally come. The long-awaited approval of a spot in Bitcoin ETF in the United States is nearly over as Bitcoin ETF approval is expected this week.
While the launch of a spot Bitcoin ETF is exciting and further legitimizes Bitcoin, investors do not directly possess or have access to Bitcoin with a Bitcoin ETF. Your financial institution acquires shares in the ETF, which they hold on your behalf.
As the adoption, acceptance, and value of Bitcoin grows investors enjoy and appreciate the benefits of owning actual Bitcoin. When you are ready to buy and hold real Bitcoin, Swan is your one-stop shop.
