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.
Bitcoin may be entering a typical summer correction phase, according to a July 25 report by crypto financial services firm Matrixport.
Bitcoin has dropped sharply to test its local range low near $115,000, with analysts pointing to renewed whale activity and long-dormant supply movements as key contributors to the decline.
Bitcoin has reached a critical milestone in its programmed supply timeline—only 5.25% of the total BTC that will ever exist remains to be mined.
Strategy the company formerly known as MicroStrategy, has announced the pricing of a new $2.47 billion capital raise through its initial public offering of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC).
