Thoughts on What will happen with the miner stocks prices once etfs are approved?

SIAP...just noticed that Fidelity now lets you buy BTC and Ethereum. However, you can't yet transfer assets to your offline wallet. That gives me heartburn but curious if anyone has purchased through Fidelity yet?

What do mean "not much liquidity there"? Don't they trade on Bitcoin and eth blockchains?

The blockchains aren't trading platforms. Fidelity has their own platform where users can buy and sell, but there aren't many people doing it so the books are thin.

so with a new ETF coming soon for Bitcoin
what would be the advantage to still owning the actual Coins on the Blockchain?
it's a PITA to deal with the cold storage wallet and the transfers back and forth to coinbase.
versus simply buying the ETF on Fidelity and not having to worry about losing your passwords.

Can't really see many. The asset management fee might even be comparable to the fee to buy/sell on coinbase.LMCane said:

1/ We are not tourists to bitcoin. For 7 years—since 2017—we have been advocating for the approval of an ETF and educating the market through breakfast seminars in our midtown office, research papers, and more.

FIFY
They are all in a price war cutting fees. A few are waiving all fees for 6 months and then the annual fee is in the range of most non broad index funds.LMCane said:
definitely want to investigate the new ETF and if it will actually track the price of the underlying asset such as GLD or other derivatives
I guess one thing is that perhaps the creators of the Bitcoin ETF will set it up with huge load fees, so that you are paying an exorbitant amount to hold the ETF instead of not paying anything (once you have it stored in a cold wallet)?

And that's not even accounting for the significantly increased risk of cold storage.
It's too decentralized so they figured the next best thing is to tax it.ac04 said:
