The UK’s largest investment platform, Hargreaves Lansdown, will open crypto ETN trading to its approximately 2 million investors from 3 September. That is Wu Blockchain citing the FT.
HL will initially offer 9 bitcoin and ether ETNs issued by BlackRock’s iShares, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Invesco, CoinShares, and Bitwise. Annual fees range from 0% to 0.35% on that stamp.
The products will be available to users of HL’s Advanced Investing service. Investors must pass an appropriateness assessment and observe a 24-hour cooling-off period on their first trade, Wu writes.

HL had been the only major UK investment platform yet to offer crypto ETNs and said last October that “BTC is not an asset class,” Wu notes. That prior line is backdrop. It is not today’s product list.
