Will Bitcoin ETNs be available from October 8 under UK?

They aren’t the only ones to be approved: https://marketsecurities.fca.org.uk/

But we still haven’t been able to trade them. Maybe tomorrow?

Sorry just read the link. I assume they will probably all start next week then.

WXBT now available in T212 ISA :slight_smile:

Yeah, just bought my first tranche of WXBT in my ISA. Well done to T212 for being on the ball and making it available asap.

It’s a shame that theres the HMRC’s incompetence leaving a question mark over how long we’ll actually be able to hold it in an ISA, but let’s hope - like in the case of fractional shares - that common sense eventually prevails.

So it seems only ETNs listed on LSE are available even for non-UK residents. Trying to find one listed in Euro though… I see there are good options for Usd: BTCW or CBTU

  • General Investment Account (GIA)
  • Stocks ISA

Here’s a list with the available Crypto ETNs:

  • WisdomTree Physical Ethereum
  • 21Shares Ethereum Staking ETP
  • Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP
  • 21Shares Ethereum Staking ETP
  • WisdomTree Physical Ethereum
  • 21Shares Bitcoin Core ETP
  • WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin
  • 21Shares Ethereum Core Staking ETP
  • 21Shares Ethereum Core Staking ETP

I’m in ISA.

Some of those don’t come up in search.

Some are only available in view only mode.

Some are suspended by the intermediatory.

Rex Crypto Equity Income & Growth UCITS ETF (CEPG) still not available?

From 17 mentioned crypto ETPs, only shows 12:

  • 3 Bitcoin ETP GBP and 3 Bitcoin ETP USD (from 21Shares and WisdomTree)
  • 3 Ethereum ETP GBP and 3 Ethereum ETP USD (from 21Shares and WisdomTree)
  • The 4 Bitwise crypto ETPs are missing plus another crypto ETP from 21Shares or WisdomTree.

No EUR-denominated crypto ETPs? (if no possibility of adding those, I continue to buy those on other brokers, as probably other T212 customers.)

is it safe to say this is just a temporary glitch then and no need to remove from my
stocks ISA?

Thank you for the update @Bogi.H :+1:

But as @RLX said, the EUR ETNs seem to be missing :sad_but_relieved_face: these would be important for non-UK costumers.

Do you think they’ll be available soon?

Thank you

Update: 3 Bitwise crypto ETNs already present, still missing Bitwise Bitcoin in USD.

Also the 17th crypto is still missing (21Shares or WisdomTree)

Probably was a “legacy” crypto ETP listed in a non-LSE exchange or not listed on LSE anymore.

Beware if the new Ethereum crypto ETPs have less fees than that one, as the first crypto ETPs had a lot of fees. :wink:

IB1T saying buy orders are temporarily restricted due to restrictions placed by our intermediary.

Is this likely to be a long term issue?

For the UK-residents, did you see this?

This could be a poisoned gift, as in 6 April 2026, they will be sold by all brokers, as we know crypto are highly volatile, and at that date the crypto ETNs will forced sold and could be at a loss for their investors.

As I would imagine, most brokers won’t apply for the new ISA wrapper, IFISA, just because offering a dozen of ETPs. If nothing changes until then, most UK-brokers could stop offering crypto ETPs.

Btw, it seems that LSE-listed iShares Bitcoin ETP will be available in a few days.

(What happened to UK? Since 2016, UK is continuing to give shots on their own feet.)

This will not, and cannot be allowed to happen.

Remember the innovative finance IsA? What a waste.

Also they want to encourage more people to invest, so reduce the cash IsA allowance - fine. But is there not a workaround where I fund my S&S ISA and then transfer over, or simply buy a money market fund?

Government is a joke.

Yea absolute madness.

Hopefully there can be some pressure applied to change the above before April. Allowing transfer from S&S ISA to IFISA would make more “sense” if they insist on moving to an IFISA.

UK Government are a total joke.

I suspect they’ll be lobbied hard by the likes of T212 and eventually change their minds - just like they did on fractional shares. The FCA/HMRC have proven time again to be incompetent - this is just another example - but expect it’ll be resolved without the need to transfer anything.

That would be my hope too.

If there’s any petition or email etc we need to collectively get behind then can always share it here. (Although feel like most of those get ignored more often than not haha).

Fingers crossed reason wins out in the end.

+1, any plans in this regard? Thanks.
