UK’s largest retail investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown, which manages over $200 billion in assets, announced it is making nine Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded note (ETN) products available to its 2 million clients. The products are offered by issuers including BlackRock iShares, CoinShares, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Invesco and Bitwise, with annual fees ranging from 0% to 0.35%. The move comes less than a year after the platform previously warned clients against cryptocurrency investments, and follows a policy adjustment in response to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifting its retail ban on crypto ETPs in October 2025. New buyers on the platform must complete an appropriateness assessment and wait 24 hours before trading. (CoinDesk)
