Could you please elaborate on what a bitcoin-linked ETF actually is? As a financial professional, I'm curious to understand the mechanics behind such a product. Specifically, how does it work? Does it directly invest in bitcoins or is it a derivative product? What are the potential risks and rewards associated with investing in a bitcoin-linked ETF? Also, how does it compare to other traditional ETFs and crypto-related investments? I'm particularly interested in understanding its liquidity, volatility, and the regulatory framework surrounding it. Thank you for your insights.
