BlackRock plans bitcoin exchange-traded product for European market: report
Asset management giant BlackRock is preparing a bitcoin-based ETP product to be listed in Europe, according to Bloomberg.The financial instrument will likely be based out of Switzerland.

Following the runaway success of its U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETF, BlackRock is now preparing an exchange-traded product (ETP) linked to the cryptocurrency for Europe, according to Bloomberg, which cited anonymous sources.
The product will likely be "domiciled" in Switzerland, the report said . BlackRock's U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) traces the price of bitcoin, which was trading hands at $97,598.95 as of 11:44 a.m. ET, according to The Block Price Page .
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF is the largest BTC-based product trading with assets under management of nearly $57 billion, according to The Block Data Dashboard .
"The European market for cryptocurrency ETPs is hotly contested, with more than 160 products available tracking the price of bitcoin, ether and other tokens," the report said. "However, its $17.3 billion size pales in comparison to that of the U.S."
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart suggested BlackRock might run into issues launching its product in Europe.
"The cheeky work around they used in Canada might not be allowed in Europe. Possible that they might actually launch a standalone. Not sure," he said in a post to X .
BlackRock's IBIT fund broke multiple records last year thanks to its extraordinary growth.
