Does BITO ETF count as crypto currency

BITO ETF is not cryptocurrency.  The BITO ETF is not based on owning cryptocurrency.  The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts.

 

In addition, the purchase of cryptocurrency does not have to be reported until it is sold, exchanged, or spent.
