People also ask
How do CoinShares Physical ETPs give me exposure to crypto?
Every share of a CoinShares Physical ETP is ‘physically backed’ by an amount of actual cryptocurrency, which is securely stored with a specialised custodian. You can see how much crypto is backing your shares by checking the daily Coin Entitlement figure (i.e. how much crypto each share of an ETP entitles the holder to).
Read moreWhy should I consider exposure to bitcoin?
Even a small allocation to bitcoin can make a meaningful impact on your portfolio without significantly increasing your risk. Research suggests that adding Bitcoin to your portfolio can contribute to diversification by expanding your exposure to a market that can decorrelate with traditional asset classes. In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, Bitcoin's features, such as security, decentralisation, predictability, trust minimization, and censorship resistance, make it stand out as a unique financial and monetary asset. Still, bitcoin can be extremely volatile and subject to rapid fluctuations in price, positively or negatively. Investment in one or more of the CoinShares Products may not be suitable for even a relatively experienced and affluent investor. Investments should be made on the basis of the current prospectus and the Key Information Document, which are available along with further legal documentation on this website.
Read moreWhat is physical bitcoin?
CoinShares Physical Bitcoin ETP is a type of financial product that trades just like a stock or exchange-traded fund, and is designed to track the price of Bitcoin, offering a convenient way for investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency market. It is ‘physically’ backed by actual bitcoin holdings, ensuring that the investment product has a close correlation with the value of bitcoin.
Is there an actual physical Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (BTC) is a purely digital cryptocurrency, existing in the form of code on a decentralised blockchain network. When people refer to "physical Bitcoin," they are often talking about physically backed Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs). These are investment vehicles that represent ownership of Bitcoin without the need to handle the digital assets themselves. It's important to understand that Bitcoin itself is intangible, and any physical representation usually involves a certificate or token backed by the cryptocurrency's value, not the direct possession of a physical coin or note.
How do I redeem a physical Bitcoin?
CoinShares Physical ETPs have a built-in ‘physical redemption’ mechanism, whereby the registered holder of the ETP can make a redemption application to receive physical crypto in return for their ETP holding. Please refer to the ETP Documents page and choose the ‘Physical Redemption’ section for more information.
