Blackrock is launching Brazil’s first spot bitcoin ETF, the Ishares Bitcoin Trust BDR (IBIT39), on Mar. 1, initially available to qualified investors with plans to eventually open it to retail investors. The ETF aims to provide investors with regulated access to bitcoin and is part of Blackrock Brazil’s strategy to expand into the digital asset market, although it does not constitute an endorsement of crypto according to Country Manager Karina Saade. The launch of IBIT39, which aims to replicate bitcoin’s price performance with a reduced management fee for the first year, signifies the growing interest and investment in the crypto ETF market in Brazil.
