In the words of a spokesperson for Blochchain.com, “Blockchain.com Asset Management launched in April 2022, shortly before macroeconomic conditions deteriorated rapidly. With crypto winter now approaching the one year mark, we made the business decision to pause operating this institutional product.”

Crypto exchange Blockchain.com will halt operations of its subsidiary, Blockchain.com Asset Management (BCAM), on account of the prolonged crypto winter.

Blockchain. com said it was suspending operations of its asset management arm less than a year after it first launched, marking another casualty of crypto’s prolonged bear market https://t.co/Uhqy4aKJpe

According to Bloomberg’s report, Blockchain.com’s London-based subsidiary applied to be removed from the UK companies register on March 6.

Blockchain.com launched the BCAM in collaboration with Altis Partners eleven months ago, in April 2022. The firm intended to provide risk-managed exposure to institutional clients by tracking Bitcoin’s (BTC) price against the US Dollar (USD). BCAM was also reportedly developing a product for managing exposure to DeFi cryptocurrencies.
