BlackRock launches crypto ETF, certifies massive growth potential for crypto market

 


Influential asset manager BlackRock has launched a blockchain index fund (ETF) that offers investors a way to invest in the crypto industry without having to invest directly in related cryptocurrencies.


Accordingly, the world's largest asset manager, which currently has assets worth almost 10 trillion. US dollars managed, the so-called Blockchain and Tech ETF (IBLC) was launched this week.


The $4.7 million ETF does not invest directly in cryptocurrencies or crypto investment products, but instead tracks various companies within the crypto industry.


The ETF is made up of 41 different securities, of which the American crypto exchange Coinbase accounts for the largest share at 11.45%. They are followed by the Bitcoin ( BTC ) mining companies Marathon Digital Holdings (11.19%) and Riot Blockchain (10.41%).


To still leave room for future investments in the crypto market, the ETF has a 9.15% cash component in US dollars.


In addition to the launch of the new ETF, BlackRock has also published a market research report in which the asset management company highlights the enormous potential of the crypto market.


The report makes it clear how positive the “ secret world power ” actually sees the crypto industry, with the authors pointing out that currently only crypto currencies, their price development and volatility are in the foreground, while the massive potential of the associated blockchain technology is still largely ignored:


"We believe that the broad potential of using blockchain technology in areas such as payments, contracting and consumption is not yet sufficiently priced in by the market."

Furthermore, the research report also goes into the progressing state of development of the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), so 87 countries are already working on their own national digital currency.


Meanwhile, crypto ETFs are gaining popularity among institutional investors as an indirect way to invest in the crypto industry.


The discussion about a physical Bitcoin ETF in the US has also recently gained momentum, with 72% of 500 investment advisors saying that they would rather invest their investors' money in a "directly" Bitcoin-based ETF than in a Bitcoin-based ETF - Futures based ETF. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has so far only approved the latter.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market. TechDev, known for his bullish views on Bitcoin, sees no reason to worry. He analyzed the new wallet addresses in relation to course behavior and shows here that the scenario from last year was by no means an isolated case. Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
