BlackRock’s Chief Executive Officer, Larry Fink, has publicly acknowledged the potential of Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In a recent interview with CNBC, Fink expressed his belief in the value of an Ethereum ETF.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, with a staggering US$10 trillion in assets under management, understands the importance of Ethereum ETFs. These funds would provide investors with the opportunity to trade shares that represent Ethereum on traditional stock exchanges. This would serve as a bridge between the established world of finance and the rapidly growing realm of cryptocurrencies.
This week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave the green light to 11 spot Bitcoin ETF applications. A number of Bitcoin funds, including BlackRock’s own iShares Bitcoin ETF, were launched yesterday. This marked the first time spot Bitcoin ETFs have been traded on U.S. stock exchanges.
There is speculation among market observers that Ethereum ETFs could be the next financial products to be listed on U.S. markets. This comes after BlackRock submitted its official application for an Ethereum ETF last November.
BlackRock has an impressive track record with the SEC when it comes to ETF applications. With the successful launch of its Bitcoin ETF, the asset management giant has only ever been unsuccessful once in its ETF applications.
