Understanding Bitcoin and ETPs
Basics
Bitcoin: digital gold for modern portfolio
Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized digital asset, often called digital gold. With its fixed supply and independence from traditional financial systems, it is considered as a store of value and a way to diversify portfolios. Bitcoin’s scarcity and historically low correlation with traditional markets make it an alternative hedge against inflation.
Read our bitcoin guideBitcoin ETP: regulated access
A Bitcoin ETP (Exchange Traded Product) is a listed security that tracks the price of bitcoin. Whether structured as an ETF, ETN or ETC, it provides regulated exposure through traditional brokerage accounts. Investors can access bitcoin without the complexity of holding the asset directly.
Why invest through Bitcoin ETP?
Bitcoin ETPs give access to bitcoin via a regulated investment product traded on traditional markets. They are accessed through brokers and hold the underlying asset with an institutional-grade custodian, allowing investors to obtain bitcoin exposure without directly holding the asset.

FAQWhy should I consider exposure to bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a digital asset with features — such as decentralisation and a fixed supply — that distinguish it from traditional investments. Because it behaves differently from other asset classes, some investors look at whether a limited allocation could contribute to diversification. At the same time, bitcoin is highly volatile and its value can change rapidly, so any exposure should be considered carefully, in line with individual objectives and risk tolerance.
What is a Physical Bitcoin ETP?
A physical Bitcoin ETP is an exchange-listed security backed by on-chain Bitcoin held in cold storage. Each unit represents a defined claim on coins stored by a professional custodian. You can see how much crypto is backing your shares by checking the daily Coin Entitlement figure.
