The cheapest spot crypto ETFs

A low fee is not a reason to buy and a high one is not a reason to sell. It is one term of the contract, and the difference from the coin is what a holder actually paid.

Method

These trusts file no prospectus XBRL, so the fee is read from the sentence stating it in each trust’s own 10-K, S-1 or 424B3, and every fund page links the filing it came from. Many carry a waiver that ends on a date or at an asset level, which is named where ETFIQ can read it: when a waiver ends the difference from the coin widens by the amount waived. The fee is already inside that difference, so the two columns are the same cost stated twice, once as a promise and once as what happened. The ranking is the published field sorted, nothing else: no scoring, no weighting and no view on any fund. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, including funds that have closed, because leaving them out would flatter the category.
