The UK’s largest retail investment platform, Hargreaves Lansdown, has started offering 9 BTC and ETH ETNs to eligible clients. These products are provided by BlackRock’s iShares, CoinShares, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Invesco, and Bitwise, with annual fees ranging from 0%–0.35%. The platform serves approximately 2 million clients. Investors must complete a suitability assessment and observe a 24-hour cooling-off period before trading. Hargreaves Lansdown previously stated that Bitcoin was “not an asset class”; this launch comes less than a year before the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifts the ban on retail investors purchasing crypto ETNs in October 2025, signaling a significant shift in its product strategy.
