BlackRock filed for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, its third Bitcoin ETF, with an expected effective date in early January 2027. The proposed buffer strategy would use options on the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), rather than holding Bitcoin directly, to target protection against losses of approximately 10%. The strategy would cap investors' potential upside, while fees and the precise upside cap had not yet been disclosed.
