Institutional Demand Supports Crypto as Bitwise marks five-year anniversary of listing its first European product
first spot crypto ETP on Deutsche Börse Xetra and an innovative, robust product structure contributed to broader market adoption €100 invested into BTCE at launch would now be worth over €1,0001 - long-term trends continue to support investor interest in digital assets June 18, 2025. Frankfurt: Bitwise today celebrates the five-year anniversary of its first European product: the Bitwise Physical Bitcoin ETP (BTCE), the world's first-ever centrally cleared Bitcoin ETP. The listing on 18 June 2020 marked Bitwise's debut in European markets and became a catalyst for a wave of listings of crypto products on Xetra, Europe's largest ETF trading venue. Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise, said: 'Reaching the five-year mark is not just a milestone, it is also a point of reflection on our long-term vision and commitment to building transparent, reliable, and secure access to digital asset investments for European investors. Bitwise is 100% focused on crypto, but many of our experts come from traditional finance, putting us in a unique position to accompany investors on their journey into this new and unique investment class. We thank the pioneering investors and partners who believed in this asset class early on, and we look forward to continuing to serve the evolving needs of the market.' Stephan Kraus, Head of ETF & ETP at Deutsche Boerse, said: 'We congratulate Bitwise on the fifth anniversary of its Bitcoin ETP on Xetra. The listing of this pioneering product marked the start of our segment for crypto ETNs and was an important step towards giving investors access to the performance of cryptocurrencies in a regulated market environment. It was also the first centrally-cleared product of its kind in the world. As the largest trading venue for crypto ETNs in Europe, we greatly appreciate the partnership with Bitwise, and look forward to continued collaboration.' A market benchmark for product design and transparency BTCE is now one of Europe's largest physically backed Bitcoin ETPs by assets under management and the most actively traded. Its structure — featuring full physical backing, physical redemption option, and a strict no-lending policy — has set a new standard for crypto ETP design and reflects the priorities of investors who demanded greater transparency from the outset. Bitwise is grateful to the early adopters who set high expectations and helped raise the standard across the industry. Transparency remains central to Bitwise's approach. Weekly balance reports are published by an independent administrator, and the blockchain addresses of Bitwise's primary BTC and ETH product custody wallets are publicly disclosed, enabling any investor to verify collateral levels independently. To further reduce operational risk, Bitwise pioneered a safeguard mechanism requiring all crypto and securities asset movements to be approved by an independent transaction administrator, who holds a legally enforceable veto right embedded in the Bitwise ETP structure. Bitwise's management company is ISO/IEC 27001:2017 certified, reflecting its commitment to operational integrity. With no proprietary trading, Bitwise remains fully aligned with client interests. As cryptoassets become an accepted component of diversified portfolios, Bitwise continues to support investors with practical tools and evidence-based insights. Internal analysis shows that adding a 5% allocation to Bitcoin within a traditional 60/40 portfolio between 2014 and 2025 would have increased average annual returns from 6.2% to 10.6%, with limited impact on volatility, drawdowns, or risk-adjusted more than 250 crypto ETPs are listed across XETRA and other leading European exchanges. Bitwise's offering has grown in tandem with investor demand, expanding beyond single asset strategies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to include diversified crypto baskets and index-based staking ETPs. Bitwise products are designed to integrate seamlessly into professional portfolios, offering exposure to cryptoassets through regulated vehicles— without the operational risks of holding a physical wallet. They are also accessible to individual investors via leading brokerage platforms, with features such as physical redemption included as standard. Fundamental trends supporting the demand for crypto assets Bitwise believes that a number of fundamental trends may support the value of crypto assets over the long term. In portfolio context, digital assets can be deployed as effective hedge against inflation that is not as susceptible to fiscal or global trade political agendas as traditional currencies. Crypto is more widely accepted by Gen Z investors, who are about to benefit from a wealth transfer from some of the richest generations that ever existed. Many coins have use cases that are independent of their use as a currency. And finally, crypto assets are a welcome solution for the unbanked or underbanked, particularly in parts of the world that are politically unstable. With crypto, access to a smartphone and the internet is enough to make payments. Bitwise is continuing to launch innovative new products regularly, such as the Bitwise Diaman Bitcoin & Gold ETP launched in March. Bitwise ETPs can be seamlessly integrated into standard brokerage or ETF portfolio accounts and are often eligible for SIPP and ISA inclusion, making them accessible for long-term investment planning in the UK.

Invesco Launches New Active Global Equity ETF in Europe
Invesco has launched a systematic active ETF aiming to outperform global equities but with similar risk-reward characteristics to the benchmark, according to sister publication ETF Stream. The Invesco Global Enhanced Equity UCITS ETF (IQGA) debuts with a total expense ratio of 0.24% and is listed on Deutsche Boerse, Euronext Milan and the London Stock Exchange. The strategy, run by the Invesco Quantitative Strategies (IQS) team, has been in existence since 2005 and targets 1% outperformance per year versus the MSCI World Index with a tracking error in the 1%-1.5% region. It uses a proprietary model to identify attractive investments within the global large- and mid-cap equity universe before an optimization process finds the optimal trade-off between risk considerations, transaction costs and the portfolio's exposure to value, quality and momentum factors. Erhard Radatz, global head of portfolio management at Invesco Solutions, said, 'Our philosophy is based on an expectation that cheap will outperform expensive, trends will persist for a while and high quality will beat low quality." 'Results since the launch of the strategy 20 years ago seem to support this,' he added. Meanwhile, Gary Buxton (pictured), head of EMEA and APAC ETFs at Invesco, said the new ETF is 'a great example of an active approach that fits seamlessly into our efficient ETF structure." 'An ETF following such a repeatable, systematic process is a natural extension to the rules-based, beta and smart beta ETFs currently available,' he noted. Invesco joins a host of other issuers including HSBC, Schroders, Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas that have recently or are about to launch low-tracking-error active ETFs.

Deutsche Boerse, Euronext step up battle against IPO flight to US
Two of Europe's major stock exchange operators are stepping up efforts to retain local initial public offerings in the face of U.S. competition, with marketing and research challenging the perception that New York-listed companies fetch higher valuations. Stock exchanges in Europe and the UK have been hit by a drought of IPOs over the past two years and a number of local firms choosing to float or move primary listings to the U.S. for its deeper pools of capital and potentially higher valuations. Deutsche Boerse, which operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, is warning of sluggish post-IPO performance, higher costs and the threat of litigation for firms that list in the U.S., according to a document shared with German companies and IPO advisers in recent weeks, and Reuters. It found that about two-thirds of companies that listed in Europe, including Germany, rose on their first day of trading, while only about half of European companies that listed in the U.S. gained on their market debuts. Over time the IPOs from the region also fared better in Europe than in the United States. The data doesn't mention valuation at IPO, but the exchange highlighted in its report several examples of European-listed companies trading at a premium to U.S.-listed peers. Euronext, which operates seven markets in cities including Amsterdam and Paris, is also planning to reissue a similar paper challenging the belief that U.S.-listed firms attract higher valuations than their European peers, its spokesperson told Reuters. "We really see more a competition, if you will, between Europe and the U.S. market in terms of listings, rather than within Europe," Stefan Maassen, head of capital markets and corporates at Deutsche Boerse told Reuters. Exchanges earn fees from companies that list on their platforms and from brokers for trading of securities, and are seen as critical by policymakers to attract investment. DEEPER MARKETS European officials have been looking for ways to deepen the continent's capital markets as the depth and size of U.S. markets are a draw for those eyeing a listing. The SP500 index has a market capitalisation of $49.5 trillion, almost four times that of Europe's Stoxx 600, according to LSEG data based on Monday's closing prices. European officials are also considering new listing rules to improve access to financing. The efforts by Deutsche Boerse and Euronext to curb New York's allure for European firms echo those of the London Stock Exchange which circulated a 'mythbusting' document in March, questioning the perception that U.S.-listed companies attract higher valuations than those in London. Deutsche Boerse also said in its document it found that the share prices of U.S. listed German companies have fallen 13% on average since 2004, naming internet company trivago and retailer Mytheresa which have both fallen since floating, while issuers in Frankfurt saw a 24% rise. Around 130 European companies worth a combined $667 billion opted to either float or move their primary listing to the United States over the past decade, according to research by capital markets think tank, New Financial. However, 70% of those are trading below their listing price with an overall average fall of 9%, according to the think tank. "We need to make our advantages more visible, and not just globally, but finally also on our own doorstep," Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing said on Tuesday in a speech in Berlin, commenting on the relocation of European company listings to the U.S. Deutsche Boerse warned cross-border listed companies face potentially greater risks of lawsuits. To be sure, some market participants argue the risk of litigation gives shareholders paths to redress. Tariff-induced turmoil roiling U.S. markets could also lift the appeal of European markets, exchange executives say. Some market players, like Eva-Maria Wiecko, Head of Equity Market Solutions, Germany and Austria at Rothschild Co, are more sceptical. While the U.S. equity market has seen inflows in recent years, European markets have largely experienced outflows. "The recent re-balancing is only a fraction of these numbers, underscoring the continued relative strength of the U.S. market," Wiecko said.
