Today, it’s been revealed that the ETC Group said that they are launching the very first BTC exchange-traded product (ETP) in the UK on the Aquis Exchange Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) in London on June 7.
The same official notes reveal that the ETC Group said this is the first time a crypto ETP will be made available for trading on the UK market or any European MTF.
“Trading of the ETP will take place in four different currencies, GBP, CHF, Euro, and USD. The clearing will be carried out by Switzerland-based central counterparty clearing house SIX x-clear,” according to the notes.
It’s been also revealed that “So far, the UK has been taking a cautious approach to approving crypto products. In January this year, the Financial Conduct Authority banned the sale of derivatives and exchange-traded notes describing the products to be ill-suited for retail consumers due to the potential harm they pose.”
More than that, it’s been reported that the firm said it has seen investors include exposure to crypto ETPs in their portfolios as a hedge against inflation.
“ETC Group provides exposure to bitcoin, ether, and litecoin through our 100% physically backed cryptocurrency ETPs, and bringing our flagship bitcoin product to Aquis Exchange was a logical step as institutional demand for exposure to crypto grows around the world,” according to Bradley Duke, CEO of ETC Group.
