Blackrock has filed with the SEC to launch the Ishares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF (PBIT), designed to reduce investor losses by using options and fixed-income securities instead of directly holding bitcoin. The ETF aims to limit losses to about 10% per tranche through a strategy involving call options, but this does not guarantee a maximum loss for shareholders. While the fund offers downside protection, it caps potential gains, meaning investors may underperform bitcoin during rallies. The ETF is still subject to regulatory approval and will be managed by Blackrock Fund Advisors once effective.
