Nordic financial institution Nordea has announced it will enable customers across the region to trade a bitcoin-linked synthetic exchange-traded product (ETP) manufactured by Coinshares International Limited starting in December 2025.
The new product will be available on Nordea’s platforms as an execution-only option, meaning the bank will not provide investment advice regarding the ETP.
The offering targets experienced investors seeking alternative asset exposure, while ensuring compliance with jurisdictional requirements and emphasizing investor protection.
Regulatory context for bitcoin products
Nordea’s move comes after the implementation of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which aims to increase investor safety and introduce clearer guidelines for digital asset offerings in the region.
The bank cited market maturation and improved regulatory clarity as primary drivers for introducing the product.
Product details and access
The Coinshares synthetic ETP tracks the performance of bitcoin and is designed for experienced, execution-only clients on Nordea’s Nordic platforms.
Nordea stated that the product’s availability will depend on local jurisdictional rules and is not intended for general retail investors.
Broader trend in bitcoin investment
This development reflects continued institutional interest in bitcoin-based financial products, particularly in the European market.
