Hargreaves Lansdown opens 9 crypto ETNs to investors

Hargreaves Lansdown opened access to nine Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded notes on Sept. 3, bringing regulated cryptocurrency exposure to eligible users of the United Kingdom’s largest retail investment platform. Summary Hargreaves Lansdown added nine Bitcoin and Ether ETNs for eligible users through Advanced Investing service. Approximately two million platform clients may access products after successfully completing required investor protection checks. Investors must self-certify, pass an appropriateness assessment, and complete a 24-hour cooling-off period before access. The FCA reopened eligible crypto ETNs to retail investors in October 2025 under safeguards nationally. Crypto ETNs track asset prices without giving investors direct ownership of Bitcoin or Ether themselves. The products come from BlackRock’s iShares, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Invesco, CoinShares and Bitwise, according to a Financial Times report. The issuers charge annual product fees ranging from 0% to 0.35%.
