iShares Digital Assets AG Launches Bitcoin ETP on SIX Swiss Exchange
The exchange explained that the iShares Bitcoin ETP expands the range of crypto ETPs available at SIX to 487, offering investors direct access to Bitcoin through a regulated, exchange-traded structure.
Each ETP is said to be fully backed by bitcoins held with Coinbase Custody International Limited, a licensed custodian.
SIX added that the product is traded in Swiss francs and supported by market makers to ensure liquidity.
In the first seven months of 2025, the 194 crypto ETPs listed at SIX generated CHF 2.3 billion in trading turnover across 116,000 trades, up 44.5% from the same period in 2024.
Bitcoin accounted for 36.1% of trading volume year-to-date, followed by Solana at 23.0%.
Omar Moufti, crypto product strategist at iShares, said: “We believe ETPs have an important role to play to build a bridge between crypto and traditional finance through their efficiency and convenience.
“Alongside the easy and regulated access, the iShares Bitcoin ETP is designed to offer institutional investors a stable and reliable way to gain exposure to bitcoin.”
Danielle Reischuk, senior ETFs and ETPs sales manager at SIX Swiss Exchange, said: “The launch of the iShares Bitcoin ETP underscores our commitment to expanding the range of digital asset products available to investors. iShares’ entry further strengthens our position as a leading venue for innovative investment solutions.”
iShares is best known for its global ETF range across equities, fixed income and alternative strategies.
