WAGMI Digest - March 8th, 2024

Hello Everyone,


This week, we're witnessing a significant trend in the Bitcoin market, with substantial and sustained demand for Bitcoin via ETF products. Notably, Blackrock has recently filed for its various funds to allocate a portion of their investments to Bitcoin ETFs. This move, reminiscent of Blackrock's initial lead in the Bitcoin ETF space that prompted widespread institutional follow-through, signals a potential new trend in market dynamics.


Additionally, with the upcoming 'Halving' event in April — set to cut the daily supply of new Bitcoin in half — we foresee a sharp uptick in Bitcoin prices. This combination of increasing demand and decreasing supply suggests a strong bullish potential for Bitcoin in the near future.




Bitcoin Price: $67,824.12 (+9.52% past 7 days)

Ethereum Price: $3,908.49 (+14.32% past 7 days)

Solana Price: $145.60 (+10.69% past 7 days)

*as of 10:58am EST 3/8/24




BlackRock Files for Bitcoin Exposure in Its Funds: A Game Changer for Crypto


BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has taken a pivotal step with a recent SEC filing to include Bitcoin futures in its funds, indicating a shift towards greater Bitcoin exposure in traditional finance.



  • BlackRock's Bitcoin Integration: The asset management giant's move to incorporate cash-settled Bitcoin futures in its funds is a clear sign of growing institutional interest in Bitcoin. This initiative by BlackRock, a major player in global finance, suggests an increased recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset.


  • Potential Surge in Bitcoin Demand: BlackRock’s entry into the Bitcoin market could significantly boost demand for Bitcoin, potentially leading to price appreciation. As BlackRock brings its extensive investor base and influence to the Bitcoin space, it amplifies Bitcoin’s credibility and appeal in mainstream investment circles.


  • Widening Institutional Bitcoin Adoption: BlackRock’s decision could catalyze more institutional players to explore Bitcoin and other digital assets, potentially leading to a wave of adoption across the financial sector. This aligns with a growing trend of incorporating digital assets into traditional investment portfolios.



Significance to WAGMI:

BlackRock incorporating Bitcoin futures into its funds marks a shift towards more institutions including cryptocurrencies in their portfolios. This mirrors actions like the Basel Committee's allowance for significant Bitcoin allocations by central banks. For WAGMI, this represents a broader trend of digital assets gaining mainstream traction and increased demand. Our strategy capitalizes on these evolving opportunities, leveraging institutional adoption to enhance our portfolio's growth potential in the burgeoning cryptocurrency market.



Once again, we thank you for your continued interest in staying informed about this rapidly evolving market. We eagerly look forward to bringing you more updates on these exciting developments next week.


Kind regards and have a wonderful weekend!

The WAGMI Fund Team
