Major Financial Platform Gives Nod to Select Bitcoin ETFs
In a significant move within the burgeoning spot Bitcoin ETF market, Carson Group, a key player in financial advisory services, has given the green light to four ETF offerings, as reported by Bloomberg.
The approved spot Bitcoin ETFs, provided by industry giants BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and Bitwise, are now accessible to financial advisors and their clients through Carson Group’s platform, valued at $30 billion.
This endorsement marks a pivotal moment for ETF firms seeking to tap into new investor demographics. Notably, BlackRock and Fidelity’s offerings have seen notable capital inflows, while Franklin Templeton hinted at imminent approvals.
However, it’s worth noting that Carson Group did not approve several other spot Bitcoin ETF funds, including the Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, which holds over $1.5 billion in assets under management.

This approval from Carson Group could potentially bolster the performance of Franklin Templeton and Bitwise’s offerings, which have lagged behind the frontrunners in the ETF space.
With total trading volume for spot Bitcoin ETFs surpassing $50 billion this week, this development underscores the growing interest and investment in the cryptocurrency market.
