The iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT) and the Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF (NASDAQ:FDIG) offer fundamentally different exposures. One holds bitcoin itself. The other holds companies that touch bitcoin. So far in 2026, the route through companies has been the better trade by a wide margin: FDIG is up 18.52% year to date ... IBIT Down 6.4% While FDIG Soars 18.5% in 2026 and Bitcoin Itself Explains Almost Nothing About the Gap
