3 Cryptocurrency Plays For Stock Investors

Many investors are reluctant to buy cryptocurrencies. This isn’t a surprise. They're still relatively new and they can be hard to understand.

But there may be a solution for these investors. Some funds invest in cryptocurrencies and can give investors exposure to cryptos, but trade just like regular stocks or ETFs.

These trusts include the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust GBTC, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETHE and the Grayscale Litecoin Trust LTCN.
