| | | | Pop quiz: Who is the only asset manager with two Bitcoin ETPs? | Answer: Grayscale! | Most of you might have heard about $GBTC - their flagship Bitcoin ETP. | But their other ETP, BTC, might actually be the better choice. Here’s why: | BTC is the cheapest Bitcoin ETP in the U.S.! 🔥 | With a 0.15% management fee, it undercuts competitors charging 0.19%-0.25%. Sure, the difference might seem small but the savings add up over time. | BTC offers the same Bitcoin exposure but with lower fees (sounds like a no-brainer to me). | Invest in the cheapest Bitcoin ETP now! |
