> 4) Funds have to pass through taxable events to customer (other than some structures which must pay the tax themselves) -- the taxation doesn't disappear because it's wrapped by another entity. Plus, the prospectus shows that the Coinbase fund will only need to rebalance once a year when it recalculates available supply on Jan 1.
Doesn't that depend on the structure? Mutual Funds pass taxable events but I don't believe Index Funds/ETFs do, since there is an incorporated entity that you own shares in that is making the trades and paying the taxes.
