21Shares, Bitwise, and WisdomTree have opened Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products (ETPs) to UK retail investors for the first time after receiving approval from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This move comes just 12 days after the FCA officially lifted its four-year retail ban on crypto ETNs. 21Shares has listed two physically-backed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The Ethereum ETP includes staking yield and charges a low 0.1% fee on some products. WisdomTree also lists its physically-backed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, with fees of 0.15% and 0.35%, respectively. Bitwise will launch similar products on Tuesday and reduce the fee on its Core Bitcoin ETP to 0.05% for the first six months. Additionally, BlackRock has listed its iShares Bitcoin ETP on the LSE. The FCA's move means UK retail investors can now purchase crypto ETPs through regulated brokers and investment platforms, further aligning the UK market with the US, Canada, Hong Kong, and the EU. The regulator expects to complete a comprehensive crypto regulatory framework covering stablecoins, trading platforms, lending, staking, and custody by 2026. (The Block)
