EBTCvsCRYP
Direct Bitcoin exposure or a diversified crypto equity basket?
Global X 21Shares Bitcoin ETF · BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF
EBTC holds Bitcoin directly; CRYP owns crypto-adjacent equities (miners, exchanges, platforms) rather than coins. They behave very differently - EBTC tracks Bitcoin's spot price; CRYP adds company-level risk and tends to amplify crypto volatility further.

Fund Profiles
Global X Physical Bitcoin ETF provides direct exposure to the spot price of Bitcoin through a physically backed structure listed on the ASX. Following ASIC's approval of crypto asset ETFs, EBTC holds actual Bitcoin in secure custody without employing leverage or derivatives, offering a regulated pathway to digital asset ownership. It appeals to investors who want Bitcoin exposure within their existing brokerage or SMSF structure without managing private keys or using unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges.
BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF tracks the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators 30 Index, offering indirect exposure to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Crucially, CRYP does not hold any cryptocurrency directly - instead it invests in listed equities of crypto miners, exchanges, and blockchain platforms, meaning it behaves more like a volatile tech fund than a digital asset. It suits speculative investors who want crypto-adjacent exposure within a standard ASX-listed structure without needing a digital wallet or cryptocurrency exchange account.
