Could you elaborate on the similarities and differences between crypto funds and Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)? Many investors seem to use the terms interchangeably, but I'm curious about the nuances. Are crypto funds strictly focused on Bitcoin, or do they include a broader range of digital assets? And does a Bitcoin ETF specifically track the price of Bitcoin, while crypto funds may invest in various cryptocurrencies? I'm seeking clarification to better understand how these two investment vehicles differ in their strategies and objectives.

These funds are actually exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are linked to Bitcoin futures.

In the case of Bitcoin futures, investors are speculating on the future price of Bitcoin without actually owning the underlying cryptocurrency.
