I should've added this comment from the SEC, the entity that just authorized this ETF:

"""

Though we’re merit neutral, I’d note that the underlying assets in the metals ETPs have consumer and industrial uses, while in contrast bitcoin is primarily a speculative, volatile asset that’s also used for illicit activity including ransomware,[4] money laundering,[5] sanction evasion,[6] and terrorist financing.[7]

What other ETF exists for an asset that the SEC closes its statements about like this?



I think you may be right regarding the thc industry in the US, its gray area of existence.
