VanEck's Bitcoin ETF offers 0% fees temporarily, undercutting BlackRock's 0.25% but with less liquidity.

VanEck's Bitcoin ETF, HODL, currently charges no fees due to a promotional waiver until July 31, 2026, making it cheaper than BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has a 0.25% expense ratio. However, BlackRock's fund holds about 50 times more assets, offering better liquidity and execution for large trades. After the waiver ends or assets exceed $2.5 billion, HODL will charge a 0.20% fee, still lower than IBIT's. Long-term investors may prefer HODL for its lower fees, while active traders might favor IBIT for its liquidity advantages.
