- Cantor Fitzgerald is launching a new fund focused on Bitcoin with downside protection linked to Gold prices.
- The fund aims to help investors who are concerned about Bitcoin’s volatility by tying protection to physical gold.
- Investors will see potential gains from Bitcoin and have losses limited based on gold’s market value.
- Bitcoin’s value has shown sharp rises and drops this year, while gold’s price has been steadier and also increased.
- Cantor Fitzgerald has been an early supporter of cryptocurrency investment products and currently helps manage reserves for Tether‘s USDT.
Cantor Fitzgerald, a major player on Wall Street, has announced a new investment fund that offers exposure to Bitcoin with additional protection based on the price of gold. The company shared details of the fund at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, targeting investors looking for safety from Bitcoin’s price swings.
The fund, expected to become available in the coming weeks, will provide investors with the potential for uncapped gains from Bitcoin. In case Bitcoin falls, the fund offers 1-to-1 downside protection tied to the current value of gold, according to an official statement.
Brandon Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, said, “We are launching a gold-backed Bitcoin fund with the idea that there are still people on the earth that are scared of Bitcoin, and we want to bring them into this ecosystem.” He explained that the fund balances Bitcoin’s volatility with gold’s stability, adding, “We are going to provide them upside while giving them downside protection secured by physical gold.”
This approach comes at a time when Bitcoin has logged notable gains—rising nearly 14% so far this year. The asset, however, has also experienced significant fluctuations, surpassing $112,000 earlier in the month but dropping below $106,500 after reaching highs in January and April. Gold, in contrast, has been less volatile and is trading above $3,300, having risen more than 25% in 2025 and reaching a record near $3,450 per ounce earlier this year.
Funds that focus on cryptocurrencies, such as the 11 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that launched recently, have seen substantial growth, amassing more than $45 billion in assets according to Farside Investors. Spot Ethereum funds have also attracted over $2.9 billion in investments.
Cantor Fitzgerald has previously shown support for the crypto sector, acting as a custodian for Tether’s USDT reserves. At the conference, Lutnick praised stablecoin applications, calling attention to the “real-world use cases” of products like Tether.
