A lower-fee version of the world’s second-largest Bitcoin fund began trading in the US, intensifying competition for crypto investor flows.

The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust listed on Wednesday with a 0.15% expense ratio — the lowest for US exchange-traded funds holding the digital asset, fee waivers aside. The product is being seeded with 10% of the assets from the more than decade-old Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which converted into an ETF in January.
