What are Crypto ETFs?
Cryptocurrency ETFs, or Crypto ETFs, can be a convenient way to invest in Cryptocurrency through your regular brokerage account, without the hassle of direct crypto ownership or storage. Like traditional ETFs, they're traded on stock exchanges, tracking the prices of cryptocurrencies, either individually or in a group.
Benefits of Crypto ETFs
Things to consider when investing in Crypto ETFs
Even with no direct ownership of cryptocurrency, Crypto ETFs are still subject to the volatility of the crypto markets. There is also a risk of tracking errors that come with owning ETFs as the ETF does not always replicate the exact return of the underlying asset.

• Crypto ETFs may offer lower risk than holding crypto directly, which means as there is no need for wallet storage, you do not need to worry about losing your private key to access your wallet and thus, your crypto holdings.
• Diversification - exposure to a variety of cryptocurrencies, with the potential to reduce the risk associated with investing in individual digital currencies
• Consolidate your investments in one place when you hold crypto ETFs.
• Registered accounts are eligible as you can buy crypto ETFs in your Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP).
With any investment there are risks, and crypto is no different. It can pose risks if a significant amount of your portfolio is invested in futures markets, or even if your ETF indirectly invests in crypto held by an investment firm. It’s important to thoroughly research all your potential investments, while considering your own personal risk profile along the way. Risks can include:
•Administration fees associated with ETFs.
•Potential for lack of transparency or inaccurate reflection of actual crypto prices.
•No actual ownership of crypto.
