Another Bitcoin-related structured product is here. A well-known asset management company has launched a dual-asset exchange-traded product that combines Bitcoin and gold, which officially began trading on the London Stock Exchange from January 13.

The design concept of this product is interesting — by allocating low-volatility assets like gold to hedge against Bitcoin's extreme fluctuations, the goal is to enable investors to achieve long-term returns similar to Bitcoin while maintaining a relatively moderate risk level. In other words, it aims to provide a compromise for investors who are optimistic about Bitcoin but worried about their heart health.

This reflects an interesting market trend: traditional financial institutions are increasingly incorporating crypto assets into mainstream investment frameworks through structured products. For some institutional or conservative investors, such products may become a new entry point into the Bitcoin market.

Haha, it's the same old story. Traditional finance just likes to give retail investors a "sense of security," but in reality, they're still harvesting. I just want to know how much of Bitcoin's decline this golden allocation can bottom out. It feels a bit pointless. It's 2025, and they're still using the "compromise plan" to deceive conservative investors. That's hilarious. Structured products sound fancy, but the fees must be high... might as well just HODL directly. Traditional finance has entered the scene. How much of the bottom can they scoop up in the next bear market? It's really hard to say. This thing is good for institutions, but for retail investors... hmm, it's just paying tuition again. Dual allocation sounds great, but it's actually just finding a way out for themselves.

Golden ratio with Bitcoin? Isn't this just to let small investors also participate without risking liquidation? Traditional finance is really fighting for dominance, preventing us from making quick money.

Bitcoin paired with gold? Sounds like it's tailor-made for the timid.

Damn, this kind of product is just brainwashing the newbies. Who would want this if you're a true BTC believer?

Yet another new trick to cut leeks, all the flashy packaging is just to attract more institutional money in.

Golden ratio Bitcoin, this is to get conservatives on board too, but it still doesn't quite feel right.

Haha, here comes a new trick to cut leeks again. Packaging it so flashy is just to prevent retail investors from truly benefiting.

Haha, this is the "placebo" that traditional finance gives to retail investors, wrapping Bitcoin in a gold shell to sell it. Bitcoin and gold mixed? If both can't rise later, that's true despair. Mainstream institutions entering the market is indeed bullish, but can the fees also come down? Want to earn returns but afraid of volatility? Isn't that just wishing for a pie in the sky? Or just go all-in on BTC for a straightforward thrill—these products are full of tricks. Institutions are finally taking crypto seriously; better late than never. Dual allocation sounds impressive, but it's actually a game of risk transfer. Gold? Why not add some eggs to the mix, hahaha. Traditional finance loves this trick, packaging simple things in a complicated way. Finally, there's a way for aunties to play with coins too; the market is about to explode.
