They will definitely cash it out in fiat. There's no claim whatsoever that it's your bitcoin. The ETF holder only has a claim on the value of those bitcoin transactions. It's the same for any other ETF, like gold or oil or whatever.

That could change if the regulations change in such a way that we can actually hold bitcoin directly in these accounts.

Can you imagine if we could hold our own keys? That would be like paradise, but I can see a lot of people abusing that system. Maybe a multi-sig system?

Right, that is what I was thinking. Multisig would be nice, that way you would have some security from the company taking them and running off.
