Could you elaborate on the key differences between Bitcoin spot ETPs and Bitcoin futures ETFs? Are they structured differently? How do their performance and risks differ? Are they available on the same platforms? Are there any tax implications I should be aware of when investing in either? Also, could you provide a brief overview of how each works in terms of trading and liquidity? Finally, what are the key factors investors should consider before investing in either Bitcoin spot ETPs or Bitcoin futures ETFs?

At its core, the Bitcoin spot ETP invests directly in Bitcoins, utilizing them as the underlying asset.

Conversely, the Bitcoin futures ETFs take a derivative approach, investing in contracts based on the price of Bitcoin rather than the actual coins.

On the other hand, investing in a Bitcoin spot ETP involves entrusting a financial product to represent the underlying asset.
