A crypto-linked exchange-traded product can hold assets, derivatives or another structure. Its share price, net asset value and tracking performance are related but not identical. Read the prospectus rather than assuming all products work the same way.
Fees, custody, market hours, premiums or discounts and tax treatment can affect the outcome. The underlying crypto market may trade while the exchange listing is closed. Product availability and legal treatment depend on jurisdiction.
Worked example
A crypto market moves sharply over a weekend while a listed fund is closed. The fund may reopen at a materially different price.
