Despite a market downturn, the company said it saw “huge interest in cryptocurrencies” from some of its institutional clients. The Blackrock Bitcoin trust would track the performance and expenses of Bitcoin operations while serving U.S. based clients.

BlackRock said it was encouraged that organizations like Energy Web are developing programs to bring greater transparency to sustainable energy usage. The company said it would follow progress around transparency in energy use for Bitcoin mining. More importantly, the mention of EWT token in the announcement brought huge interest in the altcoin. With a space of few hours, the token rose by as much as 40%, catapulting EWT from rank of 262 to under 200.
