About Bitcoin Capital

What is Bitcoin Capital AG?2022-12-01T22:16:18+01:00

Bitcoin Capital AG is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) based in Zug, Switzerland. The purpose of the company is to issue ETPs listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, on the Börse Stuttgart, on the Vienna Stock Exchange, and expecting on other European exchanges.

What is an ETP?2022-12-01T22:18:34+01:00

Exchanged Traded Products are collateralized, non-interest paying debt securities designed to replicate the performance of the underlying assets. ETPs trade on exchanges similar to stocks meaning their prices can fluctuate intraday. ETPs are structured and operate very similarly to traditional Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). However, contrary to ETFs, ETPs are debt securities issued by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).

Does Bitcoin Capital AG also support third parties in launching an ETP?2022-12-01T22:25:20+01:00

Yes, Bitcoin Capital AG also sees itself as a platform to support partners in launching their own tailor-made exchange listed crypto ETPs from A to Z.

Can I use all Crypto Assets as underlying for my ETP?2022-12-01T22:27:00+01:00

No. The rules on which crypto assets can be used depend on local regulators and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

What is an actively managed ETP?2022-12-01T22:38:53+01:00

Most, if not all, crypto ETPs available on markets are passive products that track an index or a single underlying. An Actively managed ETP is an innovative product. The asset manager continuously risk manages it and discretionarily trades the underlying, implementing its investment strategy in an effort to generate alpha over the benchmark.

How can I buy Bitcoin Capital ETPs?2022-12-01T22:39:13+01:00

You can trade Bitcoin Capital AG ETPs as simply as trading stock through your own bank account or any brokerage firm with access to SIX Swiss Exchange, Börse Stuttgart, or to Vienna Stock Exchange using an ISIN, Valor, WKN, or ticker.
