COINOTAG News, June 26 – Bloomberg reports that a former private equity leader, Blackstone Group’s trading platform operator, is collaborating with the co-founder of Tether, the prominent stablecoin, to launch a $1 billion public crypto fund. This initiative aims to construct a diversified digital asset portfolio targeting key cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
