BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Debuts on Cboe Canada Platform
In a significant milestone for the crypto space, BlackRock has officially launched its iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) on the Cboe Canada platform. This innovative move marks a major expansion of cryptocurrency investment opportunities in Canada and further solidifies BlackRock’s leadership role in the rapidly evolving digital asset market.
As announced today, the IBIT ETF will allow Canadian investors to easily gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price performance through traditional brokerage accounts or online trading platforms. The fund’s primary objective is to track the price performance of the underlying bitcoin, allocating a significant portion of its assets to the U.S.-based iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.
The introduction of this new ETF comes as no surprise, considering the recent surge in investor demand for cryptocurrency-related products and services. In fact, BlackRock’s US-listed iShares Bitcoin ETF has already attracted over $37 billion in net inflows since its January 2024 launch, a testament to the growing recognition of Bitcoin as an investable asset.
The Canadian market is now also benefiting from this development, as it provides a straightforward and cost-effective way for investors to access Bitcoin without the need to directly purchase and store the underlying cryptocurrency. As such, IBIT’s listing on Cboe Canada will undoubtedly increase accessibility and drive growth within the crypto space in Canada.
In light of these developments, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $95,085.78, reflecting a 0.56% gain over the past day and a decrease of 6.64% over the past week.
