Learn: ETPs, ETNs & exchange-traded crypto #

Exchange-traded products are the bridge between a normal brokerage account and a digital asset. This is where we explain the wrappers — what they are, how they differ, and what risks ride along with each structure. Start with the fundamentals and work down.

The core explainers #

• What does ETP mean? — the umbrella term for ETFs, ETNs, and ETCs traded on an exchange.
• ETP vs ETF — why every ETF is an ETP but not every ETP is an ETF.
• ETN vs ETF — the debt-vs-fund distinction that matters most for crypto.
• What is an ETN? — exchange-traded notes, counterparty risk, and where crypto fits.

Each explainer ends by connecting the structure back to one practical question: what is the regulated, brokerage-account way to actually hold crypto?
