Many beginners fail not only because of the fluctuations, but also because of the complicated technology and constant uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto ETFs take a lot of that stress off your shoulders. Instead of wallets and private keys, you get a regulated crypto investment in your portfolio with a single security. Here you can find out how they work and what you absolutely must pay attention to before investing money in Bitcoin &amp; Co. on the stock exchange in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group nf-info-boxen\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"nf-boxen-p-gut-zu-wissen\"><strong>In brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"infobox-ul\">\n<li class=\"infobox-li\">Crypto ETFs in Europe are usually ETPs (ETNs\/ETCs) and track a crypto index or individual coins without you having to manage wallets yourself.\u200b\u200b<\/li>\n<li class=\"infobox-li\">They provide convenient, regulated access to Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, but are highly volatile and should only make up a manageable portion of your portfolio.\u200b<\/li>\n<li class=\"infobox-li\">For tax purposes, most products are considered capital investments subject to withholding tax.

Strictly speaking, however, there are no real crypto ETFs in Europe, even though they are often referred to as such in colloquial language. The reasons for this are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ETFs as special assets<\/strong>: ETFs in Europe are considered special assets and must meet the regulatory requirements of the UCITS Directive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>UCITS minimum diversification<\/strong>: The UCITS Directive requires <a href=\"https:\/\/northern.finance\/en\/learn-how-to-invest\/definition-of-diversification\/\">diversification<\/a> according to the 5\/10\/40 rule, so that no single asset dominates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problem with cryptos<\/strong>: Individual cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum violate these diversification rules, as they would account for 100%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, other exchange-traded products are primarily offered for cryptocurrencies: ETPs (exchange-traded products), which can take various forms such as ETCs (exchange-traded commodities) or ETNs (exchange-traded notes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><strong>Abbreviation<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Product<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ETP<\/td><td>Exchange Traded Products<\/td><td>Collective term for exchange-traded products that can track cryptocurrencies.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ETC<\/td><td>Exchange Traded Commodities<\/td><td>Special form of ETPs for raw materials or cryptos as commodities.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ETN<\/td><td>Exchange Traded Notes<\/td><td>Bonds within ETPs that track performance.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group nf-info-boxen-blau\"> \n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"> <p class=\"nf-boxen-p-lesetipp\"><strong>Good to know: <\/strong><\/p> \n<p class=\"nf-boxen-p\">Commodities are standardised raw materials or goods that are traded on exchanges and are interchangeable.\u200b<\/p> \n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That was the first Bitcoin ETP.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 26 February 2019, the 21Shares Bitcoin ETP (ISIN: CH0454664001) was launched as the world&#8217;s first exchange-traded crypto product. This ETP was physically backed by BTC, had a TER of 1.49% and was tradable on the stock exchange (Xetra, SIX Swiss) like a share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key features of the first Bitcoin ETP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High<\/strong> <strong>volatility<\/strong>: +1,000%, but also -80% possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physically<\/strong> <strong>backed<\/strong>: Real bitcoins in cold storage (no futures).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stock exchange trading<\/strong>: In a securities account, no wallet required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock index vs. crypto index: You need to know these differences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When comparing traditional stock indices such as the MSCI World with colloquially referred to \u2018crypto ETFs\u2019, it is noticeable that the latter are often not genuine ETFs, but rather ETNs\/ETPs with fundamentally different risks, concentration and structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MSCI World has more than 1,500 shares in which it invests in a broadly diversified manner. The Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index Europe ETP (ISIN: CH1184151731), on the other hand, is extremely concentrated on three cryptocurrencies and has only a small admixture of other cryptos. Bitcoin (74.6%), Ethereum (13.5%) and Ripple (6.7%) alone account for just under 94.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-0db158a3 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/northern.finance\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Grafik-1-1-1024x569.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-313598\" width=\"1080\" height=\"600\" title=\"Grafik 1\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With ETFs, this strong focus on a few securities does not exist at all, because the underlying index usually consists of hundreds or even thousands of securities.
