Q&A

Will ETFs lead to a significant increase in Bitcoin's price?

Peter Schiff believes that the buying opportunity for institutions has already passed, and the introduction of ETFs may not attract significant new buyers.

Should I invest in Bitcoin now that ETFs are available?

Schiff advises caution when investing in Bitcoin, especially considering the recent sell-off and the potential for further downside.

Are spot Bitcoin ETFs the same as futures ETFs?
