In the United States, Bitcoin is a commodity, and commodity futures trading is required to take place on futures exchanges regulated and supervised by the CFTC.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>SEC warns investors of general investment risk levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first two considerations, as per the bulletin, focused on ensuring both funds and investors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investor.gov\/introduction-investing\/getting-started\/assessing-your-risk-tolerance\">find<\/a> and pay attention to their risk tolerance. The SEC pointed to the risk disclosures of the futures funds saying that \u201ca fund is required to disclose the principal risks of investing in the fund in its prospectus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although these two points are largely true to non-Bitcoin funds, the bulletin highlighted that funds that buy or sell BTC futures may have unique characteristics and heightened risks compared to other funds. &#8220;It is important to consider how any investment fits into your overall investment plan before investing,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the SEC stayed that funds trading BTC futures have <em>extra<\/em> risk because of the &#8220;potential for fraud and manipulation in the underlying cash or \u201cspot\u201d Bitcoin market\u201d and due to the asset\u2019s high volatility.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Futures funds may not move with Bitcoin market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The SEC also wants investors to recognize that Bitcoin <em>futures<\/em> funds are not the same as Bitcoin funds.
