Could you elaborate on the functioning of a spot Bitcoin ETF? Specifically, how does it operate in the market to provide investors with exposure to bitcoin prices without actually owning the underlying asset? Do investors buy and sell shares of the ETF as a proxy for trading bitcoin, or is there more to it? Additionally, how does the ETF manage its bitcoin holdings and ensure liquidity for its investors? Understanding the inner workings of such a financial product would greatly benefit investors interested in this space.
