WisdomTree Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs Listed on the LSE, Now Qualifying for ISAs and SIPPs Following FCA Approval for Retail Access
WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin (BTCW) and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum (ETHW) ETPs are now listed on the retail segment of the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Both ETPs are 100% physically backed, and the underlying assets are professionally secured in ‘cold storage’ by two regulated custodians, Coinbase and Swissquote.
This development means retail investors will now be able to access these products through UK-regulated investment platforms and brokers, using standard brokerage accounts and tax wrappers, like ISAs and SIPPs. Crypto ETPs provide a straightforward and familiar route for individuals to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without having to worry about the complexities of investing in crypto directly.
WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum ETPs were first listed on a dedicated “professional only” listing segment of the LSE in May 2024 and were available to professional investors only. From 20 October, the listing of both ETPs on the Main Market of the LSE marks a significant step forward in broadening access for all UK investors to digital assets in the UK.
Alexis Marinof, Head of Europe, WisdomTree, said: “The availability of crypto ETPs on the Main Market of the LSE demonstrates how far the market has evolved, giving investors confidence that they can access digital assets through trusted, regulated channels. Access and transparency are essential to building trust in this asset class, and today’s milestone reinforces that belief.”
In 2019, WisdomTree became the first established ETP issuer to provide European investors with institutional grade physically backed crypto exposure, with the launch of the WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin ETP. WisdomTree manages circa $3bn across a thoughtfully curated range of 11 physically backed crypto ETPs.
WisdomTree’s European crypto ETPs are available in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Poland, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. WisdomTree Physical Bitcoin and WisdomTree Physical Ethereum are also available in the United Kingdom.
