BlackRock, VanEck, and Ark 21Shares announced competitive low fees for their upcoming spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, signaling an intensifying battle for market share ahead of expected regulatory approvals. BlackRock is aiming for a 0.30% fee, VanEck is targeting a 0.25% fee, and ARK 21Shares has reduced its fee from 0.80% to 0.25%. These lower fees are significant compared to some of their competitors and mark a shift in the landscape where crypto entities like Grayscale Investments are vying against traditional financial firms such as BlackRock.
