BlackRock settled for 0.3% in sponsor fees but investors can expect lower levels as far as 0.2% in the initial year, or until the ETF crosses the $5 billion in assets milestone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Damn, the fee for BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin ETF will be 0.30% as per their just filed S-1.
