The concept of Bitcoin futures ETF activities depends on the tracking price of Bitcoin but still, here experts are comparing it with the most popular asset management Grayscale‘ GBTC, which is also backed by Bitcoin. 

The executive of Grayscale shared the return of GBTC, which shows that GBTC gives better profit over Bitcoin futures ETF, on 19 October. 

Over the seven days to Monday, GBTC returned around 8.8%, while the pioneering Bitcoin futures ETF, ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), fell 0.5%

When US regulators approved the first Bitcoin futures ETF then speculation started in the crypto market that Grayscale is considering to file for the application of Bitcoin spot ETF to sustain their GBTC fund in the current competition.
