In the rapidly growing Bitcoin ETF market, the U.S. licensed investment advisory firm Carson Group has approved four out of the ten newly launched spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. Carson Group manages $3 billion in assets on its platform.
The approved list includes BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust Fund (IBIT) valued at $660 million and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) valued at $480 million, the latter being the fund with the highest investor inflows to date.
Smaller funds from Bitwise and Franklin Templeton are also on the list.
Grant Engelbart, Vice President and Investment Strategist at the company, emphasized the significance of offering products from the two largest asset management companies in the industry, BlackRock and Fidelity. He also pointed out that Bitwise and Franklin Templeton are committed to being the lowest-cost service providers in the field, with the final expenses for Bitcoin ETFs being 0.2% and 0.19%, respectively.
Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, noted that platform approvals could be a "huge catalyst" for fund growth, considering financial advisors manage trillions of dollars, and platforms need approval to use the products. He stated, Over half of the wealth in the U.S. is on platforms, and you can't use a product until it gets approved. We often hear this phrase: 'I want exposure to Bitcoin, but our platform hasn't confirmed any information yet.' These platforms are busy, but now that the ETFs are approved and have over a billion dollars in assets, they are also getting involved in this business. |
