New Grayscale ETF Lets You Invest In Bitcoin, Without The Coin

Unlike spot Bitcoin ETFs that track the price of the asset, BCOR is constructed on the Indxx Bitcoin Adopters Index, a carefully curated basket of international companies that have incorporated Bitcoin as a financial strategy, not merely a fad. The fund started with 29 holdings, $1.01 million in assets under management, and an expense ratio of 0.59%.
