UK Approves Crypto ETPs for Retail Investors, Open Doors to Global Market

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has cleared the path for two major players – 21Shares and WisdomTree – to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products (ETPs) specifically for retail investors. This move follows a recent easing of restrictions on crypto ETNs, opening up regulated investment opportunities in digital assets for UK citizens. 21Shares and WisdomTree have already begun trading their offerings on the London Stock Exchange, with Bitwise set to follow on Tuesday.
