Surging Investor Demand for Crypto Products
BoursoBank highlights key trends driving this launch:
- 9% of French citizens now hold cryptocurrencies.
- Crypto is the most commonly held asset among new investors.
- Crypto ETPs/ETFs reached $92B in assets under management (July 2024).
While crypto ETFs remain unavailable in France, these ETNs mark a pivotal step toward regulated crypto investment products. CoinShares emphasized the significance:
"Partnering with BoursoBank on this groundbreaking initiative […] accelerates digital asset adoption in France."
Future Prospects: A Bitcoin ETF in Europe?
BlackRock’s European expansion could signal progress toward a Bitcoin ETF. Current EU regulations restrict single-asset products, making ETNs the primary vehicle for crypto exposure.
