Trade Bitcoin.
Through an ETP.
Now, you can gain exposure to crypto through the stock market. Invest in Spot Bitcoin ETFs—including IBIT and FBTC—just like any other asset.
Digital assets like Bitcoin are highly volatile, speculative, and you could lose your entire investment. Before investing in IBIT, carefully read the prospectus regarding its objectives, charges, and unique risks. This spot Bitcoin ETP is not registered under the 1940 Act or regulated by the CEA, meaning investors lack those specific legal protections. Furthermore, the ETP’s performance won’t perfectly match actual Bitcoin returns, and investors hold no rights to physical Bitcoin or Bitcoin redemptions.
