Amundi Launches Its First Bitcoin ETP Backed by a 100% European Ecosystem

Simplified Access to Bitcoin Through Regulated Markets

The Amundi Bitcoin ETP provides transparent exposure to bitcoin through an exchange-traded instrument, thereby eliminating the operational constraints associated with directly holding crypto assets. This solution combines the liquidity, transparency, and accessibility features inherent to the ETP format, making it easier to incorporate bitcoin exposure into investment portfolios. The ETP is fully backed by bitcoin, with assets held in digital wallets provided by CACEIS.

A program approved by the French regulatory authority

The Amundi Bitcoin ETP is the first issuance program approved by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers. It is based on an exclusively European ecosystem, including CACEIS, MiCA-authorized (Markets in Crypto-Assets), which ensures that the custody of bitcoins complies with European requirements in terms of governance, security controls, and asset segregation. Listed on Euronext Paris, the ETP will be available in France for both professional and individual investors with a securities account. Access will gradually be extended to other European countries. Benoit Sorel, Head of the ETF & Index business line at Amundi, states: “With the Amundi Bitcoin ETP, we are meeting investors’ demand for a transparent and efficient solution that allows integration of bitcoin exposure into their investment portfolios.”
