The Crypto ETF Guide · Position Clarity

What is inside

Six short sections, in plain English.

Two sections set up what a crypto ETF is and the shapes it can take. Then the heart of the guide: reading a fact sheet, choosing direct or wrapped, and reading a fund table without getting lost.

01
What a crypto ETF actually is
A crypto ETF is a wrapper. What the wrapper holds, the trade-off it makes, and why Canadian-listed and US-listed funds are treated differently for accounts and tax.
02
The shapes a crypto ETF takes
Spot, futures, leveraged, basket, and synthetic, defined plainly, with a descriptive map of what each shape is generally built for. A map, not a recommendation.
03
Reading a fact sheet without getting lost
The seven things a fact sheet hides in plain sight, the words it leans on defined once, and where the real risks actually live.
04
Direct or wrapped
The simpler fork before the fund table: hold the crypto yourself, or hold a wrapper, and which account and currency each route fits.
05
Reading the fund table
How to read a fund table as a map, not a scoreboard: structure, jurisdiction, fees, size, liquidity, custody, and tracking.
06
Because the details change
Why the ideas here are durable and the numbers are not, and the short list of things to re-check before you rely on any figure.

A look inside

A reference you can actually read.

The fit map shows what each structure is built for, in plain terms. The fact-sheet section turns a calm-looking document into a short list of questions. Nothing here tells you what to choose.
