BlackRock Set to Launch Bitcoin ETF in UK Amid Regulatory Easing

Blackrock is poised to bring its Bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) to UK retail investors, ahead of a significant regulatory shift. According to Foresight News, the asset management firm plans to list its iShares Bitcoin ETP on the London Stock Exchange following the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) decision to expand access for cryptocurrencies. Starting October 8th, UK retail investors will be able to purchase these products, mirroring other major European markets where wider access to Bitcoin ETFs already exists.
