BlackRock now trading Bitcoin futures on CME
Financial institutions are in a race to provide their clients access to cryptocurrency investment vehicles. However, some of them are active in the market and trading the crypto vehicles themselves. BlackRock, one of the world's oldest asset management firms, is already trading some cryptocurrency investment vehicles.
BlackRock now trading BTC futures
BlackRock, one of the oldest and largest asset management firms in the world, began trading Bitcoin futures in January this year. This was reported in a March 31 SEC filing by the company and was confirmed by sources close to the firm.According to the filing report, BlackRock invested $6.1 million in Bitcoin futures on the CME platform. The futures contract expired on March 26, and the asset manager made over $360,000 in profits.
This latest development comes two months after Cryptonary reported that BlackRock was looking to buy bitcoin futures via certain funds. The firm's two filings at the time – for the BlackRock Funds V and BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, Inc. – showcased BlackRock's desire to invest in Bitcoin funds.
"Certain Funds may engage in futures contracts based on bitcoin," the filings read. The filings were made on January 20, suggesting that BlackRock's purchase of the Bitcoin funds happened before its regulatory filing. Since the filings covered the financial picture up to January 31, it remains unclear if the firm continued to maintain its exposure to the Bitcoin futures.
More financial institutions dabble in crypto
The number of financial institutions and corporate entities venturing into the crypto space is on the rise. In February, BlackRock CIO Rick Rieder confirmed that the firm is slowly entering the cryptocurrency market.He stated that "My sense is the technology has evolved, and the regulation has evolved to the point where a number of people find it should be part of the portfolio, so that's what's driving the price up."
This week saw major adoption news from numerous financial institutions. Visa and PayPal expanded their support for cryptocurrencies while Goldman Sachs revealed it would start providing its wealthy clients access to Bitcoin investment vehicles. BlackRock's slow entry signifies that more financial institutions are starting to look at Bitcoin in a different light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
