<p>The firm will be using COINBASE (COIN) as the crypto currency custodian for the spot exchange pricing data. Coinbase has refused to answer to any questions.</p>

<p>According to this source, BlackRock initially began working with Coinbase to make cryptocurrencies available to institutional investors mid-2022. In recent news, crypto exchanges Binance and Coinbase were sued by the regulator on alleged violations of securities laws.<br />

As it stands, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), which oversees the trading of financial securities in the US, has rejected every application for a Bitcoin ETF but has approved the option of using derivatives contracts to trade crypto currencies through the form of futures.</p>
