BlackRock Digital Assets Head Says Firm Will Avoid Overly Complex Crypto ETF Structures

Robert Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, said the firm will take a cautious stance and avoid introducing overly complex ETF structures, even as more structurally complex crypto ETF products may emerge in the market, Cointelegraph reports. He added that most investor demand remains concentrated in Bitcoin and Ethereum, though some interest has extended to other assets. BlackRock's Ethereum staking ETF, the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB), saw about $15.5 million in trading volume and $43.5 million in net inflows on its first trading day. The firm is also weighing a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, which would generate option premium income by selling covered call options on Bitcoin futures.
