SOURCE EVIDENCE

"In exchange for the income, the fund gives up some of Bitcoin's gains in a sharp rally, so an income ETF can pay a steady yield while capturing less of Bitcoin's price appreciation than a spot ETF would."

"A spot Bitcoin ETF tracks Bitcoin's price, so when Bitcoin falls thirty or fifty percent, as it has many times, the ETF falls with it, and the convenience of the wrapper can obscure how volatile the underlying asset is."
