BlackRock SEC Filings Indicate Bitcoin Interest
« back to all news stories
Recent SEC filings from BlackRock (over $7T AUM) contain language suggesting they may participate in bitcoin futures markets, stating: "Certain Funds may engage in futures contracts based on bitcoin".
The Block further reports:
To be sure, the filings themselves don't definitively say that BlackRock funds are on the cusp of buying bitcoin futures, nor do they indicate whether BlackRock might buy futures that settle in cash or in actual bitcoin.
But such filings have been known to predate these kinds of moves, indicating that BlackRock is at least laying down the regulatory tracks to conduct allocations if it so chooses.
