THE CHEAPEST BITCOIN ETP

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!
