Summary

BNP Paribas said in an official announcement that it will offer six crypto asset exchange-traded notes providing indirect exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum in France. According to the bank, the products are issued by multiple asset managers under the MiFID II framework and will open for subscriptions on March 30, 2026. The ETNs are intended for retail, entrepreneur, and private banking clients, allowing access to Bitcoin and Ethereum performance without direct ownership of the underlying digital assets.

Terms & Concepts
  • ETN: An exchange-traded note is a debt security that tracks the performance of an underlying asset or index without requiring investors to directly hold that asset.
  • MiFID II: MiFID II is the European Union’s regulatory framework for investment services, market structure, and investor protection.
  • Indirect exposure: Indirect exposure means investors gain price-linked access to Bitcoin or Ethereum through a financial instrument instead of owning the cryptocurrencies directly.
