It is better understood as a giant secure warehouse holding real Bitcoin and Ethereum. The shares you buy are official claim tickets. Only a small group of Authorized Participants can move real coins in or out of that warehouse.In this video you’ll learn:• How creations and redemptions actually work• Why the daily ETF flow number creates real market pressure• The difference the 2025 in-kind change made• What you should actually watch going forwardThis is pure systems education.
