Hargreaves Lansdown, the UK's largest retail investment platform, plans to offer physically backed Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded notes (ETNs) following the Financial Conduct Authority's lifting of a four-year ban on retail crypto ETNs. Despite launching these products, the platform cautions clients that Bitcoin is not a traditional asset and that cryptocurrencies lack intrinsic value. The ETNs will trade on recognized UK exchanges with consumer protections and exposure limits, targeting an early 2026 launch. This move marks a significant shift in UK crypto regulation, potentially expanding retail investor access to digital assets under strict controls.
