BlackRock plans to carefully consider launching a "complex structure" cryptocurrency ETF and will strictly screen products

According to Cointelegraph, BlackRock's head of digital assets, Robert Mitchnick, stated that although some asset management institutions in the market are attempting more "complex" cryptocurrency ETF structures, BlackRock will not make such products a core strategy but will continue to adopt a relatively cautious product layout.

Mitchnick pointed out in the CNBC Crypto World program that more innovative or "heterogeneous" ETF structures may emerge in the future market, some of which may be welcomed by investors. However, BlackRock will maintain strict screening when expanding its product line, prioritizing market maturity, liquidity scale, and practical application scenarios.

Meanwhile, BlackRock launched the Ethereum ETF supporting staking yields on Thursday—iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB). Data shows that the product's trading volume exceeded $15.5 million on its first day of listing, attracting approximately $43.5 million in inflows. This ETF allows investors to gain additional returns through the staking mechanism while capturing potential price appreciation of Ether.
