Crypto ETPs bridge traditional finance and blockchain networks — enabling regulated, exchange-listed access to digital assets like bitcoin and ether without requiring direct token ownership.
There are multiple types of crypto ETPs, including ETFs (funds), ETNs (unsecured debt instruments), and ETCs (physically backed commodity structures) — each with distinct risk profiles and regulatory structures.
The US regulatory breakthrough in 2024 — approval of spot bitcoin and ether ETPs — marked a turning point, driving tens of billions in institutional inflows and reshaping digital asset access globally.
