BlackRock's ETFs on rise
BlackRock updated its Bitcoin ETF prospectus on April 5, adding major Wall Street firms like ABN AMRO Clearing, Citadel Securities, Citigroup Global Markets, Goldman Sachs and UBS Securities as new authorized participants.
These firms join others like JPMorgan Securities, Jane Street Capital, Macquarie Capital and Virtu Americas. Authorized participants play a critical role in the ETF operational mechanism, facilitating the creation and redemption of ETF shares.
Recently, crypto analyst Willy Woo has suggested that BlackRock's $9.5 trillion in assets under management could potentially shift toward digital assets, notably Bitcoin, as younger generations exhibit increasing confidence in cryptocurrency.
