Advantages of BTCE

Trades like an ETF

Buy and sell like any stock or ETF through your regular broker or bank. No new account needed, just enter the ticker or ISIN on your trading platform.

Cold-storage custody

The Bitcoin is kept in cold-storage at a regulated custodian, and all assets are secured by an independent trustee, thus eliminating issuer default risk.

100% physical

You are legally entitled to the underlying bitcoin, and you can redeem the ETP for the cryptocurrency, alternatively to selling on exchange.

Regulated security

Issued in Germany under German regulatory oversight, the ETP’s primary listing is on XETRA, the largest ETF exchange in Europe.

Key risks of Crypto ETPs

  1. Investor's capital is at risk and investors may not get back the amount originally invested and should obtain independent advice before making a decision.
  2. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the relevant prospectus.
  3. ETP securities are structured as debt securities, not as equity.
  4. ETPs trade on exchanges like securities. They are bought/sold at market prices which may be different to the net asset value of the ETP.
