Goldman Sachs has acquired NEOS in a $2.25 billion deal, expanding its derivative platform to $130 billion in total ETF assets. This move is seen as a direct challenge to BlackRock's rival BITA fund, according to an analyst.
The acquisition is a significant step for Goldman Sachs, as it looks to grow its presence in the bitcoin income ETF market. With this deal, Goldman Sachs is taking aim at a major competitor in the space.
