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.

Cardano price forecast – price breaks out! Are we near $1.5 soon?

 In our last Cardano price prediction , we wrote that the price could break out soon. The reason for this was a symmetrical triangle. This triangle was performed after the crash, so we expected the price to break down. But now the course has broken out of the triangle in a bullish manner. But how far could the course rise or what is the goal? Today we will explain to you about the Cardano course ! Cardano price broke out of the triangle and was able to rally to the $1.19 resistance. We tested this resistance, and a short time later the price was sold off. The triangle's target was around $1.23, so we now believe the price has completed the target. As a result, we no longer expect a further increase. Instead, the price could now descend and possibly form new lows. If the price breaks the $1.19 resistance, the price could rally to around $1.5. There is the next resistance where the Cardano price could bounce. If Cardano price fails to break the $1.19 resistance, we would expect the p...

Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency

  Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency. Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency. Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second. According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production: "If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other." Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, addin...
