Top Holdings

Key Fact

CRYP does not hold any cryptocurrency directly — it holds shares in companies operating in the cryptocurrency industry. This means it is accessible through standard equity accounts and has different tax treatment to direct crypto products like EBTC.

Suited for

Investors who want exposure to the cryptocurrency ecosystem through regulated listed companies rather than directly holding cryptocurrencies.

Risks

CRYP's holdings are correlated with but distinct from Bitcoin itself. In a Bitcoin bear market, miners and exchanges can underperform Bitcoin severely, as their operating leverage amplifies price moves in both directions.

Frequently Asked Questions - CRYP

Why is CRYP often more volatile than Bitcoin itself despite not holding any cryptocurrency directly?+
CRYP holds equities in crypto-adjacent companies like Coinbase, Marathon Digital, and MicroStrategy, whose share prices act as leveraged bets on crypto sentiment. When Bitcoin rises 10%, these stocks can surge 20-30% due to operating leverage and speculative premium, but they also crash harder in downturns. This is why CRYP's volatility frequently exceeds Bitcoin itself, making it a riskier play than spot crypto ETFs like EBTC on the ASX.
What does CRYP actually hold in its portfolio and how is it different from EBTC?+
CRYP invests in listed equities of crypto industry companies - miners like Marathon Digital, exchanges like Coinbase, and Bitcoin treasury firms like MicroStrategy - rather than holding any actual cryptocurrency. This means CRYP carries company-specific risks including management decisions, earnings misses, and dilution. Compared to EBTC's direct spot Bitcoin backing, CRYP provides indirect, amplified crypto exposure with a higher MER of 0.67% and fundamentally different risk characteristics.
How are CRYP distributions and gains treated by the ATO for Australian investors?+
Since CRYP holds international equities rather than cryptocurrency, its tax treatment follows standard managed fund rules. Any distributions would include foreign income components without Australian franking credits, and investors may receive AMIT tax statements annually. Capital gains on selling CRYP units qualify for the 50% CGT discount after 12 months, and the fund's offshore holdings may generate foreign income tax offsets for Australian tax residents.
Who should consider CRYP over a spot Bitcoin ETF like EBTC in their portfolio?+
CRYP suits investors who want exposure to the broader crypto ecosystem's growth - including exchange revenues, mining profitability, and blockchain infrastructure - rather than just Bitcoin's price. It also appeals to those whose SMSF investment strategies permit equities but are cautious about direct digital asset exposure. However, with a 58.2% one-year return trailing EBTC's 72.4% and higher volatility, investors should understand they're accepting more risk for potentially different return drivers.
