Cantor Fitzgerald Asset Management is preparing to launch a new fund that combines Bitcoin exposure with downside protection tied to the price of gold.
The Cantor Fitzgerald Gold Protected Bitcoin Fund, L.P. will be the firm’s first investment product focused on Bitcoin (BTC), the company said.
Structured as a five-year vehicle, the fund is designed to offer investors full upside participation in Bitcoin while providing 1-to-1 protection against losses, based on the price of gold.
Hedge strategy linking different asset
The hybrid approach aims to address investor concerns about Bitcoin’s volatility.
By linking downside protection to the price of gold, Cantor Fitzgerald is positioning the fund as a hedge strategy that bridges traditional safe-haven assets with high-growth digital assets.
Cantor Fitzgerald recently partnered with Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank to launch a $3 billion Bitcoin investment firm called 21 Capital.
The companies contributed Bitcoin and planned to raise additional funds through a convertible bond and private equity round. The venture, led by Brandon Lutnick, aimed to capitalize on a pro-crypto shift in U.S. policy under the Trump administration.
“At Cantor, we are focused on delivering innovative products that support clients seeking exposure to digital asset investments,” said Chairman Brandon G. Lutnick.
The fund will begin accepting investor capital in the coming weeks, the company said.
