A spokesperson closely associated with UBS informed Cointelegraph in January that spot Bitcoin ETFs are exclusively available within a brokerage account and are deemed suitable only for aggressive investors.

UBS stated in an official statement regarding spot Bitcoin ETFs on January 29, It remains to be seen if the issuers will be able to distinguish themselves in terms of ability to manage the product during turbulent markets.
