The race is on to cut costs in U.S. Bitcoin futures exchange-traded funds, just a day after the first ETF launched.

VanEck’s pending Bitcoin Strategy ETF (ticker XBTF) will carry a management fee of 0.65%, meaning $6.50 for every $1,000 invested. That would undercut the 0.95% expense ratio carried by the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (ticker BITO), which debuted on Tuesday.
