The first US spot Bitcoin ETF, ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), is set to close its doors after a year of operation. The ETF allows investors to gain exposure to the price movements of Bitcoin without directly holding the cryptocurrency.

The decision to close comes as regulatory scrutiny on financial institutions' involvement in crypto increases. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been cracking down on firms that don't comply with regulations, causing some to reevaluate their involvement in the space.
