Will Bitcoin ETNs be available from October 8 under UK?

@joao267, @AlinMC, we can only offer Crypto ETNs that are listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and currently these products are denominated in GBP. If issuers list Crypto ETNs in other currencies in the future, we will review and consider adding them to the platform.

Thanks @Bogi.H! Hopefully those also become available soon.

So currently if one from the Euro zone were to actively trade Bitcoin, one setup would be: long WXBT in GBP, at sell move to e.g. CE31 (GBP-denominated short-term Euro bonds) to eliminate GBP currency risk, rather than convert back and forth.

Could you please add BTIC in USD listed in London stock exchange. As EU citizen with UK account I again feel bad that I cannot use card and all Bitcoin etfs are available in GBP only :frowning: Thank you.

As I thought earlier:

UK retail giants AJ Bell and Nutmeg both confirmed they have β€œno plans” to offer an IFISA right now, while Freetrade also told ETF Stream it does not intend to introduce an IFISA.

Smaller platforms, including eToro and Lightyear, have likewise ruled out offering the niche ISA.

So, buying it in a SIPP from T212(or other providers) would do the job, instead to buy it in ISA and the sell.
