Vanguard, one of the world's largest asset management firms, has announced that it will not enter the Bitcoin ETF race. CEO Tim Buckley stated that trying to predict markets in uncertain economic conditions is foolish and that they are currently closing their doors to investing in Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Vanguard does not even offer assets like gold to its clients. Bloomberg's ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, believes that Vanguard's decision not to enter the Bitcoin ETF market is not a big surprise and that their perspective on this matter may change in the future. Balchunas also noted that Vanguard's absence in this market results in less price pressure on other ETF applications and that if Vanguard's advisory business grows and customer demand increases, they may enter this space. Balchunas emphasized that Vanguard's company structure is different, and they think in the long term, expressing their dislike for commodity-style investments. Previously, a large asset management company like BlackRock also closed its doors to Bitcoin but later applied for a Bitcoin ETF.
