A lower number is not the whole answer
A spot bitcoin trust, a spot ether trust, a derivatives fund, and a blockchain equity portfolio do not offer the same exposure. The table deliberately keeps those distinctions visible. Sorting by charge changes the display order; it is not a ranking of suitability, quality, safety, or expected returns.
What the figures mean
These rates are the annual headline charges shown on official issuer pages checked September 8, 2026. Sponsor fees and expense ratios can cover different items. Temporary waivers, additional costs, trading spreads, and tracking differences require separate review. The table contains no live price, performance, or assets-under-management data.
