Today, Bitcoin Capital, a new ETP issuer on the Swiss stock exchange, launches the very first actively-managed Crypto ETP tradable on a regulated marketplace. The ETP provides additional opportunities for retail and institutional investors to diversify their portfolios by incorporating an actively-managed basket of cryptocurrencies. This takes the number of ETP providers available at SIX to 5, and the number of ETPs to a record of 31 – further strengthening the position of the Swiss Stock Exchange as the world’s leading market place for regulated crypto products.

With their newly tradable ETP at SIX, Bitcoin Capital offers exposure to a discretionary product featuring cryptocurrencies as underlying assets. The Bitcoin Capital Active ETP, managed by FiCAS AG and issued by Bitcoin Capital AG, covers the top 15 cryptocurrencies with active trading and risk management. Liquidity for this innovative product is provided by Flow Traders.
