Small retail investors that see Bitcoin in WSJ, FT, etc. sit around and say "Hey! I want some of that," and their neighborhood financial planners don't know enough about it (and are not incentivized) to get them to directly buy Bitcoins. An ETF would give exposure to Bitcoin to these Baby Boomer retirement types, of which there are many.
