Cantor Fitzgerald has launched a new fund offering institutional investors exposure to Bitcoin with downside protection through gold hedging. The fund, launched in May 2025 and led by Brandon G. Lutnick, aims to attract institutional capital seeking potential Bitcoin growth while mitigating risk. This move marks Cantor Fitzgerald’s entry into the Bitcoin investment product market after collaborating on a $3 billion Bitcoin initiative with Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank. The fund allows investors to tap into Bitcoin’s long-term potential while hedging against potential losses based on gold prices. Its unique 1:1 gold hedge differentiates it from existing products blending traditional and crypto assets. This novel approach could set a precedent for future institutional crypto offerings, attracting greater interest in hybrid investment strategies that combine the relative stability of gold with the growth potential of digital assets.
