Blockrise positions itself as a Bitcoin-only platform
Rotterdam, October 2025: Blockrise will focus entirely on bitcoin as a Bitcoin-only asset manager, ending support for Ethereum and other assets.
Rotterdam, 24 October 2025 - Blockrise, the Rotterdam-based company specialising in crypto asset management, announced today that it will focus entirely on Bitcoin. With this strategic move, the company positions itself as a Bitcoin-only asset manager, meaning it will no longer support Ethereum or other crypto assets.
Since the establishment in 2017, Blockrise has maintained a strong focus on Bitcoin. This focus has grown over the years, partly driven by increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a long-term investment. According to CEO Jos Lazet, the move towards a Bitcoin-only strategy marks a logical next step in the company’s development.
“Bitcoin has been the foundation of Blockrise since its inception. By refining our strategy and focusing entirely on Bitcoin, we can innovate faster, further expand our services and clearly establish our position as a European Bitcoin asset manager.”
The change means that Blockrise will no longer offer Ethereum. For clients currently holding Ethereum, Blockrise will offer a smooth transition: assets can be exchanged for Bitcoin or euros at no cost, or withdrawn to an external wallet.
According to Lazet, this Bitcoin-only approach allows Blockrise to accelerate product development and make the platform simpler and more robust:
“The future of Blockrise lies in building reliable, regulated Bitcoin services, from secure storage to lending. This focus ensures clarity, efficiency and growth.”
In the coming weeks, the Blockrise platform interface will be adapted to the new positioning. At the same time, the company is working on various expansions of its services, including new products within the framework of the European MiCAR regulations.
