With the new Iconic Funds Physical Bitcoin ETP – available in two trading currencies –, investors now have a selection of 32 Bitcoin ETPs and structured products at SIX to choose from, while the number of ETP issuers rises to nine, following the recent arrival of ETC Group as well as CoinShares and SEBA Bank in the first four months of 2021.
