Jakarta, Pintu News – Crypto ETFs have become a bridge for investors to incorporate crypto assets into traditional brokerage accounts and tax-advantaged retirement accounts. With the potential long-term returns from crypto, this seems to be a win-win situation for all parties.
While traditional assets offer great profit potential, the volatility of crypto is often too risky for some investors. ETFs that focus on crypto income, on paper, promise most of the gains from crypto with additional income over the investment period.
However, the reality can be much more complex. Using futures contracts, crypto ETFs buy assets at a time premium that decreases over time. In a bull market, the impact may not be as pronounced, but in a stagnant market or during a bearish period known as “crypto winter”, losses can be substantial.
Crypto income ETFs offer a seemingly efficient way to enjoy the benefits of the crypto market while receiving income. This can be an attractive option for those seeking exposure to crypto with slightly more manageable risk. However, there are some important considerations to understand.

First, the ETF structure using futures contracts may result in asset value degradation during periods without significant price trends or during market downturns. Second, while these ETFs offer income, the volatility of the underlying asset-crypto-can reduce overall gains or even lead to losses.
Recently, ETFs that track crypto-related stocks started to launch. These products offer another way for investors to gain exposure to the crypto industry without having to directly buy and hold coins. However, as with any investment, there are risks involved.
These ETFs, while attractive, remain affected by the volatility of the crypto market as a whole. For example, the so-called “massacre” on October 10 in the altcoin market is a stark reminder that these investments remain risky. Investors should do their due diligence before investing in crypto stock ETFs.
In assessing whether a crypto ETF is truly profitable, it is important to consider all aspects-from the structure of the product to changing market conditions. While they offer several advantages, such as ease of access and income potential, the risks associated with crypto volatility should not be overlooked.
