Blockchain industry | How are ETF shares created and redeemed?
When market-data websites talk about ETF “net inflows,” they mean the value of shares created over a given period minus the value of shares redeemed.
In-kind creations and redemptions allow authorized participants to exchange Bitcoin directly for shares, so the fund doesn’t have to buy or sell Bitcoin on the market itself, which can reduce costs.
The shares of a Bitcoin spot ETF are backed by $BTC actually held by the issuer.
If you’re unfamiliar with a product, don’t invest a large amount right away. Start by practicing with a small amount.
