Frequently asked questions
Can I hold these in a TFSA or RRSP?
Yes - as long as they're CAD listed and eligible.
Are Crypto ETFs safer than direct crypto?
Crypto ETFs are regulated and professionally managed. Plus, your Qtrade Direct Investing account is protected by CIPF coverage (up to applicable limits).
Do they track Bitcoin's price?
Most use spot exposure; some use futures.
What happens if crypto crashes?
ETFs still carry market risk. Diversification matters.
Why are there U.S. and Canadian versions?
U.S. listed ETFs may have lower fees but require USD.
