Purchasing an ETF Holding Physical Bitcoin
Question
I would like to purchase an ETF that holds physical Bitcoin. I’m buying it on an American stock exchange that operates on Shabbat as well. My question is regarding the prohibitions of ribbit (interest), trading on Shabbat, and lifnei iver. Yasher koach.
Answer
Shalom UvRacha,
The American stock exchange is a non-Jewish business, and there is no problem buying from them.
