ETC Group Will launch BTCE on German Stock Exchange


The investment company, ETC Group, is planning to list Bitcoin ETP or BTCE on the German Xetra Digital Stock Exchange via the white label platform HANetf in late June. It will allow traders to invest in Bitcoin without dealing with blockchain technology or wallets.

10 June, 2020 | AtoZ Markets – Xetra, a stock exchange based in Germany, will list an exchange-traded product (ETP) called Bitcoin Exchange Traded Crypto (BTCE). Currently, it is in the process of getting approval from the German regulator.  However,  German regulator, BaFin classified digital assets and crypto as financial instruments.

BTCE tracks Bitcoin price. It will be stored in custodian BitGo. It also has a total expense rate (TER) of 2%. ETC Group CEO Bradley Duke said, “the crypto sector has been held back by concerns about complexity, accessibility and governance. With BTCE, we are transporting Bitcoin into the fold of mainstream, regulated financial markets. Investors get the benefits of trading and owning Bitcoin through regulated security while having the optionality of redeeming Bitcoin if they choose.”

Trading BTCE eliminates crypto-related technical challenges such as wallet setup and blockchain technology. Besides, traders in the UK, Italy and Austria will be able to trade BTCE.

ETC Group Will Distribute BTCE on HANetf

ETC has chosen HANetf, a white-label ETF platform, to sell and market this investment product. HANetf, known for issuing cloud computing and medical cannabis ETFs on European exchanges, has also entered into crypto. Hector McNeil, co-Founder and co-CEO at HANetf, said:
