Cetera is among the first wealth management groups to lay out a clear policy on bitcoin ETFs, as increasingly more investors explore and invest in bitcoin.

Matt Fries, head of investment products and partner solutions at Cetera stated: “As expected, we are prudently embracing bitcoin ETFs and we prioritized developing this important guidance to help our financial professionals implement these products in client portfolios. Today’s investors have increasingly complex needs, and our investment products team is here to support our financial professionals across the investment spectrum. We will continue to proactively evaluate the implications of bitcoin ETFs and related products and modify our policies accordingly, and we look forward to partnering with our financial professionals to adopt bitcoin ETFs when appropriate with their clients.”

The following spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been approved for use by Cetera:

  • BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)
  • Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC)
  • Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO)
  • Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC)

The chosen funds are supported by ETF providers who have a history of effectively introducing novel product strategies.
