Not so long ago, the first cryptocurrency in the world showed up at a price less than 1 cent. December 2017 changed the digital coin forever and anyone wanted to own that weird asset. However, at a price of nearly $20,000, not everyone could actually afford it. Folks were eager to derive huge benefits from the crypto asset, but without physically owning any bitcoins.

By the way, after Wednesday’s launch of the ETN, the price of Bitcoin tacked on temporarily by almost $400 before concluding at $6,200.
