U.S.-listed bitcoin ETFs hold over $100 billion in bitcoin, but investors face significant risks if sponsors or custodians fail. While sponsor failure would likely lead to an orderly wind-down and cash distribution to shareholders, custodian failure—especially of Coinbase, which holds most ETF bitcoin—could result in prolonged litigation and potential loss of assets.
