Crypto ETFs explained: spot bitcoin, ethereum and crypto shares

Crypto ETFs let you invest in digital assets through a normal brokerage account, without managing wallets or keys. Spot bitcoin and ether ETFs hold the coins themselves through a custodian, so they track the crypto price less fees. Crypto equity ETFs hold companies in the industry, such as miners and exchanges, which behave more like volatile technology shares.

Crypto is highly volatile: large falls of 50% or more have happened several times. Most investors who use it keep it to a small satellite position alongside a diversified core.

The 5 largest bitcoin and crypto ETFs by funds under management are VBTC ($328m), CRYP ($187m), IBTC ($174m), EBTC ($165m), IBIT ($63m). The cheapest established fund is IBTC at 0.25% a year, and the best performer over the past year was CRYP at −4.8%. Fees range from 0.25% to 0.69%, with a median of 0.45%. Data to 30 September 2026.

Crypto ETF or buying crypto directly?

An ETF is held in your normal brokerage account or SMSF and avoids managing wallets and exchanges, but charges an annual fee. Buying directly can be cheaper to hold but you take on custody and exchange risk yourself.

Can I hold a crypto ETF in my SMSF?

Generally yes, as an ASX-listed investment, provided it fits your fund's investment strategy. Speak to your SMSF adviser or accountant.
