This is the very first step taken by BlackRock to expand its crypto ETP product range outside the US after the success of the spot Bitcoin ETF. IBIT is the largest spot BTC ETF holding roughly half a million Bitcoin valued at approximately $48 billion. When it was launched in January last year, it quickly gained traction and began attracting billions on US dollars every month. Even though, there have been ETPs linked to cryptocurrencies already trading in Europe for several years, the local market is much smaller compared to the US - $13.6 billion versus $105 billion assets under management. The largest crypto ETP in Europe is so far run by CoinShares International Ltd with $1.3 billion in Bitcoin under management and it charges a 0.25% fee. So far, until the end of the year, BlackRock will be offering a much cheaper fee of 1.15%. #BlackRock #Bitcoin #Spot Bitcoin ETF
