BNP Paribas expands crypto exposure via ETNs

BNP Paribas Commercial Banking in France is expanding its investment offering by adding crypto-asset ETNs (Exchange Traded Notes).

Retail clients in France can now invest in six new ETNs indexed to Bitcoin or Ether.

The bank already offers a wide range of products, including stocks, bonds, ETFs, SCPIs, and structured products. The addition of crypto-linked ETNs aims to meet growing investor interest in digital assets. These products are accessible through a securities account and comply with MIFID2 regulations, ensuring investor protection.

The ETNs provide regulated, indirect exposure to crypto performance without requiring investors to directly buy or hold Bitcoin or Ether.

They are issued by established asset managers selected by BNP Paribas for their strong risk management capabilities.

The six crypto ETNs will be available from March 30, 2026, to individual, entrepreneurial, private banking, and Hello bank! clients in France, with plans to gradually expand access to Wealth Management clients in other markets.
