The Cantor Fitzgerald Gold Protected Bitcoin Fund, L.P. marks the firm's first major product focused solely on Bitcoin. It is structured as a five-year investment vehicle. The fund targets investors who seek cryptocurrency growth while minimizing risk from market volatility.
Bitcoin Upside, Gold-Based Safety
The fund promises full participation in Bitcoin's gains while providing 1-to-1 protection against losses. This protection will be tied to the value of physical gold. The hybrid design aims to reduce fears about Bitcoin’s unpredictable price swings.
By connecting the fund’s safety net to gold, Cantor Fitzgerald links digital assets with traditional store-of-value investments. This strategy appeals to cautious investors who want exposure to Bitcoin but prefer a secure foundation.
The firm did not reveal a specific launch date. However, it confirmed the fund will begin accepting capital in the coming weeks. Investors will be able to participate directly through Cantor Fitzgerald channels.
Strategic Partnerships Back the Fund
The fund follows Cantor’s recent partnership with Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank. Together, they launched 21 Capital, a $3 billion Bitcoin investment venture. The initiative includes Bitcoin contributions and plans for a convertible bond and private equity funding.
This move reflects a broader pro-crypto trend within major financial institutions. Cantor’s continued involvement positions it as a key player in the digital asset market.
Crypto Market Shows Mixed Trends
Bitcoin has gained about 14% in 2025. It surged to a record $109,000 in January but later dropped to $75,000 in April. Earlier this month, Bitcoin reached a new high above $111,000 before retreating below $106,500.
In contrast, gold has maintained a steadier climb. It rose over 25% this year and now trades around $3,300. Gold reached a record of nearly $3,450 per ounce in April. Its stable performance supports its role in Cantor’s hedging model.
Crypto Funds Attract Strong Investor Interest
Investor interest in cryptocurrency funds continues to grow. Eleven spot Bitcoin ETFs, launched last year, now hold over $45 billion in assets. Spot Ethereum funds have also attracted more than $2.9 billion in net inflows.
Cantor Fitzgerald has long supported digital assets. It also manages Treasury reserves for USDT, Tether’s stablecoin. This new fund strengthens its role in the expanding crypto investment space.
