🌍 BlackRock Lists Bitcoin ETP in Europe, Expanding Global Footprint

BlackRock is taking its crypto ambitions global with the launch of its first Bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) in Europe. The iShares Bitcoin ETP began trading on Xetra and Euronext in Paris under the ticker IB1T and on Euronext Amsterdam as BTCN. With a temporary fee waiver bringing the cost down to just 0.15% through the end of 2025, the move marks BlackRock's first crypto foray outside the US—and a major signal of confidence in global bitcoin demand.

The launch comes as BlackRock's US-listed spot bitcoin ETF, IBIT, dominates the market with over $50 billion in assets and nearly $40 billion in net inflows. While Europe has hosted crypto ETPs for several years, BlackRock's entry into the space introduces new competition for local players like CoinShares and 21Shares, which currently lead in European crypto ETP assets. CoinShares' flagship product holds $1.3 billion and charges a 0.25% fee, setting a clear benchmark that BlackRock appears poised to challenge.

Coinbase, which already handles custody for IBIT, will also secure assets for the European ETP. The listing comes amid rising institutional interest in Bitcoin as investors look for regulated, low-cost exposure across multiple regions. With this move, BlackRock is reinforcing its commitment to Bitcoin not just as a US story but as a global asset with long-term investment appeal.

Sentiment

🔐 Survey: 37% Cite Security as Top Barrier to Crypto Payments

Security remains the number one concern holding back broader adoption of crypto payments, according to a new survey by Bitget Wallet. Out of 4,599 users polled worldwide, 37% pointed to hacks, phishing attacks, and wallet safety as their biggest worry. That's despite 46% of respondents saying they actually prefer crypto over fiat for payments due to speed and efficiency—highlighting a growing demand that's still tempered by caution.

Bitget Wallet has responded with a multi-layered security approach, including MEV protection by default on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana to prevent common threats like front-running. The platform also introduced its GetShield engine, which scans contracts, dApps, and URLs to flag malicious activity before users sign anything. Additionally, a $300 million user protection fund provides coverage in case of platform-level losses, helping restore trust in the payment infrastructure.

Regional trends also paint a complex picture. While Gen X users worry most about security, Gen Z is more concerned with usability and cost. Africa and Southeast Asia show the highest interest in crypto payments, driven by remittance needs and limited access to traditional banks. In Latin America, high transfer fees are the key driver. Still, rising scams like wallet poisoning, which cost victims over $1.2 million in early March alone, show the road to mainstream adoption remains a bumpy one.

💸 Mt. Gox Moves $1B in Bitcoin, but Market Stays Calm

Defunct exchange Mt. Gox transferred over $1 billion in Bitcoin to two separate wallets this week, marking its third major on-chain movement in just four weeks. The exchange moved 893 BTC (roughly $78 million) to its hot wallet and 10,608 BTC (about $927 million) to a change wallet, according to Arkham Intelligence. The transfers occurred early Tuesday during Asian trading hours, with BTC prices hovering above $87,000 at the time.

These large transfers echo previous movements earlier this month, when Mt. Gox shuffled over $900 million on March 11 and another $1 billion on March 6. However, unlike previous years, the recent transfers have had virtually no impact on the spot market. That's a sharp contrast from mid-2024 when similar moves sparked fears of mass creditor liquidations and triggered price volatility across crypto markets.

The current calm is likely due to Mt. Gox's decision last October to push its final creditor payout deadline to October 31, 2025. With more time granted for verification and processing, the threat of a sudden sell-off has been significantly reduced. While creditors are still waiting for long-overdue compensation, the lack of panic suggests growing market maturity—and that the days of Mt. Gox-driven price swings may finally be behind us.

🧠 Crypto Know-How: Soulbound Tokens (SBTs)

Soulbound tokens, or SBTs, are special digital assets that can't be transferred or sold once they're in your wallet. Think of them like blockchain-based ID cards—proof of your identity, achievements, or memberships that stay with you forever.

They can be used to show things like diplomas, certifications, event attendance, or reputation within a community. Because they can't be traded, they're not about making money—they're about building trust and identity in Web3.

SBTs are still a new concept, but many believe they could help shape a more personalized and secure decentralized internet. By tying real-world value to digital identity, soulbound tokens could power the next wave of Web3 innovation.
