Investors bet on Bitcoin through regulated ETF Shield

BITO is a Bitcoin futures ETF that provides regulated Bitcoin price exposure without direct holding of assets, attracting investors with concerns about cybersecurity and regulatory risks. It provides liquidity, transparency and portfolio diversification, but it may not be perfectly tracked due to futures-related differences. While fees and volatility are factors to be considered, BITO simplifies the access process for retail and institutional investors under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulation, reflecting the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as an asset class.
