BlackRock launches Bitcoin ETP in the UK: Opening the door for individual investors
The crypto market in the UK is preparing for a historic event: BlackRock is expected to launch #BitcoinETP (BTCN) on the London Stock Exchange in October 2025. This move comes after the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifted the ban on Bitcoin ETN, allowing individual investors to finally access this asset class.
An important step forward
The participation of #BlackRock , one of the largest asset management giants in the world, in the crypto market is not only a notable event but also a strong sign of the maturity and acceptance of Bitcoin. Although BlackRock's Bitcoin ETP is an ETN (debt instrument) rather than an ETF (asset-holding fund), this still opens a more mainstream, safer investment channel for the public compared to trading on crypto exchanges.
Driving capital flow and development
Currently, the funds #BitcoinETN from other companies like Bitwise, WisdomTree, and 21Shares are only available to professional investors. With the FCA lifting the ban, BlackRock's launch will be a powerful catalyst, attracting a significant amount of new capital flow from individual investors. This event not only brings confidence to the crypto community but also solidifies Bitcoin's position as a legitimate investment asset globally.
