Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What is a crypto ETF?

A crypto ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of digital assets, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Like traditional ETFs, crypto ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without directly owning them. Instead, the ETF holds the assets or tracks them through futures, and investors can trade shares of the ETF on regulated stock exchanges. This provides a regulated and convenient way to invest in cryptocurrencies without navigating the complexities and risks of crypto exchanges.

What are the benefits of investing in ETFs?

Investing in ETFs offers several benefits, including diversification, transparency, and cost efficiency. ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to a broad portfolio of assets, spreading risk across various holdings. They are traded on traditional exchanges, providing transparency and ease of access, making them a convenient option for many investors.

What are the risk of investing in ETFs?

While ETFs offer many advantages, they also carry risks, including market volatility and tracking errors. ETFs that track volatile assets, such as cryptocurrencies, can experience sharp price fluctuations. Additionally, tracking errors may occur if the ETF’s performance deviates from that of the underlying asset. Other risks include limited trading hours for the ETF versus 24/7 crypto markets and potential counterparty risks, especially with synthetic ETFs that rely on derivatives.

Where can I access CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs?

CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs can be accessed through major brokerage platforms and financial institutions that offer exchange-traded products. Investors can purchase these ETFs just as they would with traditional ETFs, by selecting the desired product and executing a trade through their brokerage account or retirement investment platform.

Disclosures & Risks

CoinShares Valkyrie offers ETFs that invest in, or seek exposure to, bitcoin, ether, bitcoin future and ether futures (“Digital Asset Instruments”). Digital Asset Instruments are a relatively new asset class and are subject to unique and substantial risks, including the risk that the value of CoinShares Valkyrie ETF investments could decline rapidly, including to zero. Digital Asset Instruments have historically been more volatile than traditional asset classes. You should be prepared to lose your entire investment.

CoinShares Valkyrie offers an ETF that seeks daily investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to a multiple of (2x) the daily performance of its underlying benchmark (the “Daily Target”). While the ETF has a daily investment objective, you may hold shares for longer than one day if you believe it is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. For any holding period other than a day, your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target. These differences may be significant. Smaller index gains/losses and higher index volatility contribute to returns worse than the Daily Target. Larger index gains/losses and lower index volatility contribute to returns better than the Daily Target. The more extreme these factors are, the more they occur together, and the longer your holding period while these factors apply, the more your return will tend to deviate. Investors should consider periodically monitoring their geared fund investments in light of their goals and risk tolerance.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs are generally non-diversified and each entails certain risks, which may include risk associated with the use of derivatives (futures contracts and similar instruments), imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage and market price variance, all of which can increase volatility and decrease performance. There is no guarantee any CoinShares Valkyrie ETF will achieve its investment objective. CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs are not suitable for all investors.

Market Risks for Digital Asset Instruments are significant. The prices of Digital Asset Instruments have historically been highly volatile. The value of investments made by CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs in Digital Asset Instruments – and therefore the value of an investment in CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.

The value of bitcoin and ether has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation, such that trading and investing in these digital assets generally may not be based on fundamental analysis. In addition, the price of bitcoin and ether has been highly correlated with each other, even during periods of volatility, with ether tending to exhibit more pronounced rises and falls. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs and the possibility that you could lose your entire investment in CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs, you should not invest in CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs.

The price and performance of futures and digital asset-linked instruments should be expected to differ from the current “spot” prices (the prices at which the digital assets can be purchased immediately) of those same digital assets. These differences could be significant. Futures are subject to costs, margin requirements, collateral requirements, and other limits that may negatively impact their performance or the performance of an investment vehicle which utilizes them. Digital assets are largely unregulated and digital asset-linked investments may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments. Digital assets and their futures are subject to rapid price swings including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media, changes in the supply and demand for the digital assets or their futures, and other factors. If a fund’s ability to obtain exposure to digital asset-linked investments consistent with its investment objectives is disrupted for any reason, including as a result of a lack of liquidity, volatility, or a disruption in the digital asset or its futures market, or as a result of margin requirements, position limits, or other conditions, factors, or limitations of a particular fund, the fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective and may experience significant losses. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of CoinShares Valkyrie ETFs before investing. This and other information can be found in their summary and full prospectuses. Read them carefully before investing.
