Amundi Launches Regulated Bitcoin ETP Offering Secure and Transparent Crypto Exposure to European Investors

(IN BRIEF) Amundi has launched the Amundi Bitcoin ETP, a fully backed exchange-traded product that provides investors with exposure to bitcoin through a regulated and accessible format. Approved by the French financial regulator and listed on Euronext Paris, the product allows both professional and retail investors in France to gain bitcoin exposure without directly holding the cryptocurrency. With custody managed by CACEIS and compliance aligned with European MiCA regulations, the ETP combines security, transparency, and liquidity. The launch reflects growing demand for crypto-related investment solutions and positions Amundi to bridge traditional financial markets with digital asset opportunities, while acknowledging the associated risks of volatility and suitability for certain investor profiles.

(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 24-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Amundi has introduced a new exchange-traded product designed to provide investors with exposure to bitcoin, marking its entry into the growing market for crypto-linked investment solutions. The Amundi Bitcoin ETP2 enables investors to track the performance of bitcoin3 through a regulated financial instrument, removing the need to directly purchase and manage digital assets.

The product is fully backed by bitcoin holdings, with assets securely stored in digital wallets managed by CACEIS. By leveraging the ETP structure, the solution combines accessibility, transparency, and liquidity, allowing investors to integrate bitcoin exposure into traditional investment portfolios5 more efficiently.

The launch represents the first issuance programme of its kind to receive approval from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF)6, highlighting compliance with European regulatory standards. The product is built entirely within a European financial ecosystem, with custody arrangements aligned with the requirements of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA)7, ensuring robust governance, asset protection, and operational security.

Listed on Euronext Paris, the Amundi Bitcoin ETP will initially be accessible to both professional and retail investors8 in France through standard securities accounts. The company plans to progressively expand availability to additional European markets.

The offering responds to increasing investor interest in digital assets while addressing challenges associated with direct cryptocurrency ownership, such as custody, security, and operational complexity. By providing exposure through a regulated and familiar investment vehicle, Amundi aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the evolving digital asset landscape.

While the product offers a streamlined way to access bitcoin performance, Amundi emphasizes that such investments carry inherent risks, including price volatility, and may not be suitable for all investors. The ETP is intended for individuals and institutions with sufficient understanding of crypto-assets4 and the capacity to absorb potential losses.

Through this launch, Amundi continues to expand its exchange-traded product range and reinforces its position as a leading European asset manager1 responding to emerging investment trends.
