Asset managers look to deliver crypto exposure via regulated products
The Block says many firms pursue this approach primarily for client accounts through brokerage and retirement-adjacent structures that already include regulated custody and advisory frameworks.
Asset managers are increasingly seeking ways to provide crypto exposure through regulated investment products, rather than direct, unbrokered ownership, according to The Block.
The outlet says common routes include spot crypto ETFs, digital asset funds, and tokenized fund vehicles, with a focus on using qualified custodians to handle custody and operations within regulated structures.
The Block also notes that most asset managers are investing on behalf of clients, aiming to embed digital asset exposure into the brokerage, retirement, and advisory channels investors already use, rather than managing crypto positions for their own balance sheets.
