Nordea to Launch Bitcoin ETP Trading in 2025, Increasing Institutional Access

Nordea Bank, a leading financial institution in the Nordics with €648 billion in assets under management, is poised to significantly expand access to digital assets by launching Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) for its customers in December 2025. This move aligns with the EU’s MiCA regulatory framework, demonstrating a commitment to integrating cryptocurrency within traditional financial services. Nordea will partner with CoinShares to offer synthetic Bitcoin ETPs, which track the price of Bitcoin without direct ownership, allowing customers to gain exposure to this asset class while complying with MiCA regulations. This announcement signifies a trend towards mainstream adoption as regulated digital asset investments gain traction in Europe and beyond.
