Blackrock has launched its iShares Bitcoin Exchange Traded Product (ETP) on the London Stock Exchange, marking a significant step towards mainstream crypto adoption. This move follows recent regulatory changes by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), granting retail investors access to regulated Bitcoin investment products for the first time. The launch is expected to boost liquidity in the Bitcoin market by increasing both retail and institutional participation. 21Shares CEO Russel Barlow highlights that this marks a landmark moment for UK markets, allowing previously excluded everyday investors to participate in crypto investments. This follows precedent set by U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in 2024, which have shown similar market effects. The move has the potential to drive significant financial inflows and boost interest in related crypto assets, impacting overall market dynamics.
