The UK FCA plans to allow authorized funds to hold up to 10% in crypto ETNs

According to The Block, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has proposed allowing authorized investment funds (including UCITS schemes and most non-UCITS retail schemes) to allocate up to 10% of their assets to cryptocurrency exchange-traded notes (ETNs).This proposal is included in the FCA's 52nd quarterly consultation document, and the public and institutions have five weeks to submit their opinions, with a deadline of July 13. The FCA stated that this move aims to bridge the regulatory gap between individual retail investors and authorized funds. Since the FCA lifted the four-year retail ban on cryptocurrency ETNs in August 2025, individual investors can directly invest in ETNs, but funds were previously still subject to an "effective ban."The FCA emphasized that the 10% cap is deliberately set, as exceeding this ratio could force funds to be reclassified as restricted public investment products, affecting their retail fund status. In the proposal, professional and qualified investor schemes are not subject to the cap; long-term asset funds and non-UCITS retail schemes operating in the form of alternative investment funds will be excluded.The FCA pointed out that cryptocurrencies do not align with the investment objectives of these funds. From the industry perspective, the Investment Association supports the proposal, believing that acquiring crypto assets through regulated listed products is manageable in terms of risk, and the 10% cap helps manage fund risk. Fund managers must ensure that their holdings are consistent with the investment objectives and risk characteristics disclosed by the fund and disclose significant cryptocurrency ETN holdings.The FCA emphasized that it is not currently considering allowing authorized funds to directly hold cryptocurrency assets for investment and will make a decision after assessing the impact of the upcoming cryptocurrency asset regulatory framework and client asset protection rules.

Morgan Stanley and Galaxy Digital have reached a partnership to recommend the transfer of crypto assets ETP, lowering the cooperation threshold to $5 million. Bitdeer produced 205.3 BTC this week and sold all of it to maintain a zero holding strategy

According to BBX data, last week the expansion of institutional crypto infrastructure and the differentiation of cash flow management models for mining companies were implemented simultaneously. The core dynamics are as follows:Morgan Stanley (NYSE: $MS) Wealth Management Department and Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: $GLXY) officially announced a recommended cooperation agreement on June 5: allowing Morgan Stanley's qualified high-net-worth clients to lend directly held BTC, ETH, or SOL to Galaxy Digital. After Galaxy, as an Authorized Participant (AP), completes the creation of physical shares, the corresponding spot crypto ETP shares (including Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, NYSE Arca: $MSBT) will be directly transferred to the client's brokerage account; the converted ETP shares can be used as collateral for account financing. Key parameters: Galaxy Digital has reduced the minimum trading threshold for Morgan Stanley's recommended clients from $25 million to $5 million, significantly expanding the coverage of qualified high-net-worth clients; traditional similar institutional trades usually take more than four weeks to complete, while the new mechanism can shorten the entire process by up to 75%. The legal basis for this cooperation is the SEC's approval of the physical conversion ETF mechanism for crypto assets in July 2025, allowing direct physical conversion between directly held crypto assets and spot crypto ETFs, with Morgan Stanley's $MSBT being one of the first beneficiary products.Bitdeer Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: $BTDR) reported that as of the week of June 5, 2026, Bitcoin mining output was 205.3 BTC, with the same amount sold, resulting in a net holding of 0 BTC, maintaining a current BTC position of zero, continuing the "output equals sale" cash flow management strategy; the proceeds from sales are used to support the R&D of its SEALMINER mining hardware product line and the expansion of hash power hosting services. Bitdeer's zero holding model sharply contrasts with mining companies like CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ: $CLSK) (holding approximately 13,561 BTC) and MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MARA) (holding approximately 35,303 BTC), which continue to accumulate Bitcoin, representing another financially rational path for mining companies during the BTC price downturn cycle—exchanging immediate liquidity for stable operational cash flow, avoiding the impact of single asset price fluctuations on the balance sheet.
