On August 13, 2026, an official opening ceremony took place at the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) to mark the launch of two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by RBC iShares, a division of BlackRock Canada. Steven Leong, who heads the Canada Product and iShares teams at BlackRock, participated in the event along with Graham MacKenzie, the Managing Director of Exchange Traded Products at the TSX. The new ETFs are the iShares Core MSCI All-International Equity Index ETF, listed under the ticker TSX: XINT, and the iShares Equity + Bitcoin ETF Portfolio, listed as TSX: IBQT.
The iShares Core MSCI All-International Equity Index ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to a broad range of international stocks, while the iShares Equity + Bitcoin ETF Portfolio offers a unique combination of equity investments alongside Bitcoin. As the popularity of ETFs continues to grow among Canadian investors, these new products are expected to enhance investment options available in the Canadian market. The launch event is part of BlackRock's strategy to deepen its investment footprint in Canada, catering to the changing preferences of investors seeking diversified and innovative investment solutions.
