Could you elaborate on the rumors surrounding Blackrock potentially launching an iShares Bitcoin Trust? With the
cryptocurrency market maturing and institutional investors increasingly showing interest, is this a strategic move for Blackrock to enter the Bitcoin market? What would be the potential implications for investors if such a trust were to materialize? What factors are currently influencing the decision-making process within Blackrock? Would the trust be open to retail investors, or primarily focused on institutional investors? Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
