I just saw that Goldman Sachs recently filed an application for a Bitcoin ETF with the SEC. The move is interesting because instead of buying BTC directly, they will invest in other products linked to Bitcoin and sell options to generate steady monthly income. They say it's for larger investors, like boomers who want returns without too much volatility.
The curious thing is that Morgan Stanley just launched its own spot Bitcoin ETF a few days ago, so it seems all the big institutions want to get into this. Goldman Sachs already had Ethereum, Solana, and XRP in its crypto portfolio, so this is like the next natural step. If everything goes well with the SEC review, the Bitcoin ETF could be available by late June 2026.
The strategy of generating dividends by selling Bitcoin call options sounds good for stable income, but it has the downside of limiting gains if Bitcoin skyrockets. Still, it shows that institutional appetite for digital assets continues to grow. Yesterday, I saw that spot Bitcoin ETFs had outflows of $291 million, but Ethereum ETFs saw inflows of $9.44 million. The market keeps moving.
