The SEC just approved futures-based Bitcoin ETFs that are now trading, but should you buy them? I don’t think so.
In this video, I talk about why buying futures-based ETFs is far from the same thing as buying an ETF that holds real assets.
Futures-based ETFs can underperform the actual asset price over time because of “contango bleed,” which is when higher-priced futures contracts trend toward the lower asset price over time.
Since futures-based ETFs hold futures and not real assets, your investment in these ETFs is exposed to the decay of futures contracts if the asset price doesn’t increase.
