Cantor Fitzgerald’s asset management arm is entering the crypto investment space with a new fund designed to offer Bitcoin exposure while cushioning downside risk through gold.
The Fitzgerald Gold Protected Bitcoin Fund, set to launch in the coming weeks, blends the high-growth potential of Bitcoin with a unique gold-based protection mechanism. Structured as a five-year product, the fund gives investors direct access to BTC while hedging losses on a one-to-one basis against the price of gold.
The offering marks Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management’s first foray into Bitcoin-specific investment products. With $14.8 billion in assets under management, the firm sees the fund as a way to cater to clients eager for crypto exposure but wary of its notorious volatility.
Chairman Brandon G. Lutnick described the fund as a “groundbreaking” solution for balancing risk and opportunity in the digital asset space, emphasizing its appeal to cautious investors seeking innovation without abandoning security.
In parallel, Cantor Fitzgerald has also launched a Bitcoin financing division targeting institutional clients. The business has already completed its first transactions and aims to deploy $2 billion in leverage for firms looking to scale their BTC exposure.
Following a 6.4% pullback from its record high of $111,980, Bitcoin has stirred debate among analysts about what comes next.
Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made another bold move in the crypto space, acquiring 1,088 more Bitcoins in its latest purchase, and pushing its total holdings to 8,888 BTC—valued at over $930 million at current prices.
As more corporations rush to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets in hopes of replicating the success of early adopters, concerns are growing that many of these firms may not have the resilience to endure a sustained crypto downturn.
Popular crypto analyst Il Capo of Crypto has issued a cautionary outlook for the digital asset market, warning of deeper corrections ahead as macroeconomic pressures return to the spotlight.
