Could you elaborate on what a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) actually is? I've heard the term mentioned in financial news but I'm not entirely sure of its specific workings. Is it similar to a traditional ETF, but with Bitcoin as the underlying asset? If so, how does it function? Do investors have to own actual Bitcoin to invest in a Bitcoin ETF, or can they simply purchase shares in the fund? I'm also curious about the potential risks and benefits associated with investing in a Bitcoin ETF compared to other investment vehicles. Could you provide a concise yet informative description of a Bitcoin ETF?
