Top Asset Manager Launches Bitcoin Fund With Gold-Backed Safety Net

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.
