Amundi, the leading European asset manager[1], announces the launch of the Amundi Bitcoin ETP[2]. This solution offers transparent exposure to bitcoin, enabling investors to access bitcoin’s performance[3] via an exchange-traded product, whilst avoiding operational constraints associated with directly holding crypto-assets.[4]
The Amundi Bitcoin ETP is fully backed by bitcoin, and the assets are held in digital wallets provided by CACEIS. The solution combines the liquidity, transparency and accessibility specific to the ETP format, facilitating the integration of bitcoin exposure into portfolios.[5]
The Amundi Bitcoin ETP is the first issuance programme approved by the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF)[6]. It is backed by an exclusively European ecosystem of recognised players, including CACEIS, a MiCA-authorised entity[7] which ensures that the custody of bitcoins complies with European requirements regarding governance, security controls and asset segregation.
Listed on Euronext Paris, the Amundi Bitcoin ETP will be available in France to professional investors and retail investors[8] through a securities account. Access will be gradually extended to other European countries.
“With the Amundi Bitcoin ETP, we are responding to investor demand for a transparent and efficient solution that allows them to incorporate exposure to bitcoin into their investment portfolios,” says Benoit Sorel, Head of ETF & Index business line at Amundi.
