Fidelity Investments har lanceret en fysisk bitcoin ETP i Europa

Fidelity Investments has launched a physical bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) in what it says is the growing demand for digital assets among European investors. The fund is listed on Frankfurt’s Xetra and shall start trading on Zurich’s Six a few weeks from now.

Fidelity’s ETP comes three months after Invesco launched its bitcoin ETP following the increased interest for cryptocurrency investments among asset managers.

ETP'en kommer efter, at Fidelity Digital Assets blev tildelt en officiel registrering af den britiske finanstilsynsmyndighed for sin digitale handelsvirksomhed og aktiver depot i slutningen af ​​2021.

Previously Fidelity Digital Assets was listed as a temporary member on FCA’s register but has now been moved to the permanent register of FCA.

I december 2021 lancerede Fidelity Investments en canadisk-baseret fysisk bitcoin ETF, som i øjeblikket har omkring $30 millioner i aktiver.

Fidelity’s Physical Bitcoin ETP

Fidelity’s Physical Bitcoin ETP shall be available to institutional and professional investors in Europe and shall be domiciled in Germany. However, Fidelity Digital Assets, which is the digital assets arm of Fidelity Investments based in the US shall be the custodian of the ETP.

The head of Fidelity Investments Nick King said that the launch of the ETP was an important step in the company’s ETP offering and the first in offering digital assets products.

ETP'en blev lanceret med aktiver til en værdi af omkring $6 millioner og skal have en løbende afgift på 0.75 %.

Administrerende direktør for Europa hos Fidelity Christian Staub sagde:

"Den underliggende distribuerede hovedbogsteknologi har potentialet til at revolutionere det finansielle system over tid og forstyrre mange dele af den finansielle verden med dybtgående implikationer for investorer."

Fidelity Digital Assets gennemførte for nylig en undersøgelse, der viste, at 70 % af institutionelle investorer så frem til snart at investere i digitale aktiver. Også over 90 % af dem, der deltog i undersøgelsen, sagde, at de ønsker digitale aktiver, der skal have en allokering inden for de næste fem år.
