Nordea Bank Abp has revealed plans to give its customers access to a Bitcoin-based synthetic exchange-traded product (ETP) starting December 2025. The new offering, created in partnership with CoinShares International Limited, will be available through Nordea’s execution-only platform, allowing users to trade the product independently without advisory services from the bank.
The decision comes as the European crypto market matures under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCa), set to take full effect across the EU in December 2024. Nordea pointed to the region’s growing appetite for digital assets among both retail and institutional investors, particularly across the Nordic countries.
Unlike direct Bitcoin ownership, the synthetic ETP provides exposure through a traditional financial instrument, offering a regulated path to crypto investment. Nordea described the product as designed for experienced investors seeking diversified and alternative asset opportunities within the expanding crypto landscape.
