  1. BlackRock files for Bitcoin ETF with downside buffer and capped gains

    BlackRock has filed for a Bitcoin-linked ETF that limits downside risk and caps gains using options tied to its IBIT fund. This follows similar strategies from other funds that helped investors avoid steep losses during Bitcoin's selloff.

    Why it matters: This ETF offers a new way for investors to participate in Bitcoin with reduced risk, potentially attracting more cautious investors to the market.
