Investors love crypto but worry about its carbon footprint. Here's how asset managers like Fidelity and Invesco are addressing their concerns.
07 May, 16:42, Business Insider • DévelopperSummary List Placement US investors are hungry for cryptocurrency, evidenced by bitcoin's rapid rise to a market capitalization of more than $1 trillion and the crypto giant Coinbase's recent initial public offering , which blew investors' expectations away. In addition, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is reviewing at least nine applications for the first domestic crypto exchange-traded fund. As asset managers build new products to satisfy the growing demand for crypto, they could have to reckon with another trend popular among some investors — sustainability. Bitcoin notoriously consumes more energy than Argentina due to its onerous mining process, and its energy use is only going up, according to a study from Cambridge's Centre for Alternative Finance . Crypto's environmental impacts have been a "stumbling block" for many investors, One River Asset Management's head of sales Sebastian Bea told Insider . The conflict has become a concern to institutional investors, who are interested in the asset class but have also pledged to be more socially conscious about where they're putting their large sums of money.
BlackRock just hired a climate scientist from the World Wildlife Fund in a top research role according to a memo naming new ESG executives (BLK)
06 May, 18:08, Business Insider • DévelopperSummary List Placement BlackRock is continuing to double down on sustainability as it expands its environmental, social, and corporate governance-centric (ESG) leadership. The world's largest money manager has hired a climate scientist from the World Wildlife Fund into a top sustainability research position and appointed a new COO for its sustainability-focused division, according to a memo sent to all employees Thursday seen by Insider. BlackRock Vice Chairman Philipp Hildebrand, who also chairs BlackRock's sustainability initiatives, and Paul Bodnar, the firm's recently appointed global head of sustainable investing, said in the memo that Chris Weber has been named as head of climate and sustainability research. Weber was most recently the global climate and energy lead scientist at conservation organization World Wildlife Fund, the firm said in the memo Insider viewed. He will report to Bodnar in his newly created role and will start later this month. BlackRock, which oversees some $9 trillion in assets as of March 30, has set out to introduce new investment products and metrics that are so-called "temperature-aligned," or effectively measuring the change in global temperature against a portfolio's holdings.

VC firms are scrambling to get into crypto investing after Andreessen Horowitz reportedly plans a $1 billion fund
05 May, 17:19, Business Insider • DévelopperSummary List Placement "The coming years will be a period of great drama and excitement revolving around this new technology," Marc Andreessen wrote in 2014 about bitcoin. His piece aged well, to say the least. Yet another crypto-boom era has dawned in the venture world, with endless headlines boasting one wild fundraise after the other. Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase had a monstrous IPO, non-fungible token startup Dapper Labs recently raised at a $7.5 billion valuation, and Andreessen's own storied firm, Andreessen Horowitz, is raising a crypto-focused $1 billion fund, t he Financial Times reported . For Andreessen Horowitz, which got into crypto early by investing in Coinbase and Ripple and other crypto-centric VCs, this latest frenzy is both long expected and much celebrated. But others aren't quite as lucky. With cryptocurrency prices skyrocketing ( bitcoin was valued at around $55,300 on Wednesday), several VCs told Insider that firms that haven't historically invested in crypto are scrambling to catch up, get into deals and make big investments. "It's a tsunami," Brian Fakhoury , an investment analyst at Underscore VC, told Insider.

Companies have issued $240 billion of debt with incentives tied to environmental and social targets over the last year (BUD, BLK)
↳ 14:39, Business Insider Markets • DévelopperSummary List Placement Over the past year companies like Anheuser-Busch InBev and BlackRock have taken a greater interest in a new type of debt that uses self-made targets for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) progress to incentivize or punish borrowers. Accroding to the Wall Street Journal , companies have issued nearly $240 billion of debt since last summer linked to ESG goals such as cutting carbon emissions or getting more women on boards. This carrot or stick approach to lending gives companies the opportunity to reduce their interest rate burdens for meeting specific targets, while also incentivizing ESG investment. BlackRock recently arranged a $4.4 billion loan linked to racial diversity, women in leadership, and sustainable assets under management, per Bloomberg. Anheuser-Busch InBev also took a step into ESG lending when it signed a $10.1 billion "Sustainability Linked Loan Revolving Credit Facility." The brewing company's loan "incorporates a pricing mechanism that incentivizes improvement" in key ESG areas like improving water usage efficiency, increasing recycled material use, using renewable energy, and reducing overall emissions, according to a press release from the company.
Meet the Brevan Howard-backed, ex-SEC chair Jay Clayton-advised asset manager hoping to gain SEC approval for the first sustainable crypto ETF
03 May, 15:07, Business Insider • DévelopperSummary List Placement As interest in cryptocurrency has surged, so, too, has its associated energy use. Bitcoin, which consumes more energy than Argentina, now uses 80% more energy than it did at the start of 2020, a Cambridge study found . Asset managers are scrambling to reconcile investor appetite for crypto and sustainability, two trends that are at odds because of the environmental harm associated with mining cryptocurrency. One River Asset Management, a $2.5 billion hedge fund backed by Brevan Howard, believes it has found a way to bridge the gap. As of April 30, One River manages $600 million of client assets in funds dedicated to bitcoin and ether — including capital from the billionaire Alan Howard, the founder of Brevan Howard. The firm has created a novel index to enable it to offer carbon-neutral versions of these same crypto funds, said Sebastian Bea , One River's head of sales and strategy. The index estimates the carbon expenditure per coin of its crypto holdings, which allows the fund to buy both crypto and the requisite amount of carbon offsets to cancel out any mining emissions.
