Asset management titan BlackRock has delved a bit deeper into the crypto waters, revealing that it has launched a spot bitcoin private trust for US institutional clients.

The trust seeks to track the performance of bitcoin. The cryptoasset’s price stood at about $24,600 at 9:45 am ET, down roughly 64% off its all-time high reached last November. 

BlackRock, which managed $8.5 trillion in assets as of June 30, labeled permissioned blockchains, stablecoins, cryptoassets and tokenization as areas in which it sees potential.   

The company also said in the statement that it is “encouraged” by monitoring програме by RMI and Energy Web, which it sees bringing transparency to sustainable energy usage in bitcoin mining.
