Wall Street investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management has announced its plans to launch a new fund designed to blend the high potential gains of Bitcoin (BTC) with a safety net rooted in gold. This innovative financial product, titled the Cantor Fitzgerald Gold Protected Bitcoin Fund, marks the firm’s inaugural venture into BTC-focused investment vehicles.
The fund aims to provide investors with uncapped exposure to Bitcoin’s price increases while simultaneously offering robust downside protection based on the gold price, as detailed in the firm’s Thursday press release. This dual strategy reflects a growing trend within the investment community, seeking to merge traditional asset stability with the dynamic potential of cryptocurrencies.
Scheduled to open for investors in the coming weeks, the fund will operate over a five-year period. Brandon Lutnick, chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald, expressed his enthusiasm for the fund while addressing attendees at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, stating, “There are still people on the Earth that are scared of bitcoin, and we want to bring them into this ecosystem. I think it’s going to be one of the great products of the Earth.” His comments underscore the firm’s commitment to bridging the gap between cautious investors and the burgeoning crypto market.
The launch of this fund signals Cantor Fitzgerald’s deeper foray into Bitcoin-related products, at a time when digital assets are increasingly penetrating traditional financial markets. Just earlier this week, the firm also announced the initiation of its bitcoin lending operations, with initial financing being extended to crypto lender Maple and digital asset prime brokerage FalconX.
