According to CoinDesk, Hargreaves Lansdown, the UK’s largest retail investment platform with over $200 billion in assets under management, has launched nine Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded notes (ETNs) for its 2 million customers, offered by BlackRock iShares, CoinShares, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Invesco, and Bitwise, with annual fees ranging from 0% to 0.35%. This move comes less than a year after the platform previously warned customers against investing in cryptocurrencies, following a policy shift in response to the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) October 2025 lifting of the retail ban on crypto ETPs. New buyers are now required to complete an appropriateness assessment and wait 24 hours before trading.
