BlackRock Set to Launch Bitcoin ETF in UK After Regulatory Shift

BlackRock’s plans for a Bitcoin ETF launch targeting UK retail investors are advancing, spurred by upcoming regulatory changes. The asset management giant aims to list its iShares Bitcoin ETP on the London Stock Exchange following the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s decision to permit broader cryptocurrency investment access for individual consumers. This move aligns with existing regulations in other major European markets where similar products have already been accessible to a wider audience of investors.
