Hi all,

Are there any plans to add Bitcoin/crypto investing to the Invest and ISA accounts?

Currently using another platform but would love to consolidate stocks and crypto into one app.

Thanks,
Vincent

Itā€™s a different monster entirely.

Weā€™ve only just seen a company like PayPal accept payment, starting next year.

I think it may be a bit longer before they introduce a Cryptocurrency eligible ISA!

Thanks @JD1 . You have any recommendations for any crypo platforms to invest on? Iā€™m using Coinbase but their fees are ridiculous high!

Thanks,
Vincent

Just use Coinbase Pro, much lower fees.

And remember, if you donā€™t hold the private keys, itā€™s not your Bitcoin.

I use Binance, you get 25% off fees if you have BNB coin in your portfolio, when you trade on the exchange.

I donā€™t know how their Spot fees compare to Coinbase.

I would suggest you try to look at Crypto.com.
I donā€™t have any crypto coins but my work colleague bought through them on the phone app and he received a promotion with no commission.

I am currently using Cypto.com and would not recommend it. Itā€™s a good platform, low fees, they also have a debit card and so on. But if you want to transfer your coins to some other wallets (eg. your hardware wallet, Coinbase wallet and so on) they charge high fees.

I have opened myself a topic about thisā€¦

I think itā€™s better to have some index or etp based on bitcoin on this platform, instead of real bitcoinā€¦

Pretty sure crypto ETNs are banned from next year.

So in about 70 days or so the Crypto CFDs will be removed and you can only own crypto, not a reference to the underlying asset.

I think the closest thing you may have in the future is perhaps a ā€˜crypto miningā€™ index, once that industry stabilises.
