  No, grayscale bitcoin trust is not considered an ETF. It is a trust that holds bitcoin and is traded on the OTC markets. While it may have some similarities to an ETF, such as being traded on an exchange, it does not meet the regulatory requirements to be classified as an ETF.

  Yes, grayscale bitcoin trust is similar to an ETF in that it allows investors to gain exposure to bitcoin without directly owning the underlying asset. However, it is important to note that grayscale bitcoin trust is not regulated as an ETF and has different tax implications compared to traditional ETFs.
