After more than a year of preparation, the Jacobi Bitcoin ETF is finally going live on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange.
With the historic debut of the ground-breaking Jacobi FT Wilshire Bitcoin ETF from Jacobi Asset Management, Europe is prepared to change the landscape of cryptocurrencies. This London-based digital asset management company has made a big advancement by introducing its ground-breaking investment product on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange, catapulting Europe into the spotlight as the continent receives its first Bitcoin ETF.
Unveiling the Spot Bitcoin ETF
The long awaited Jacobi FT Wilshire Bitcoin ETF from Jacobi Asset Management makes its debut as a ground-breaking product. It gives investors access to a financial item that is inextricably linked to BTC and is hailed as the first spot or physically-backed Bitcoin fund. The Guernsey Financial Services Commission granted the ETF, which trades under the symbol BCOIN, permission in October 2021, paving the way for its historic debut.

A Forward-Thinking Approach
The environmental consciousness of the Jacobi FT Wilshire Bitcoin ETF is a fundamental aspect of it. Through the incorporation of a renewable energy certificate (REC), the fund transcends conventional limitations. It determines the energy usage of the Bitcoin network using external data, and then buys and retires RECs. The fund’s eco-friendly claims are supported by the creative use of blockchain technology, assuring transparency for discriminating investors.
BCOIN provides real-time insights into the average price data for Bitcoin from a small number of cryptocurrency exchanges, powered by the FT Wilshire Bitcoin Blended Price Index. In line with changing investment tastes, this ground-breaking spot ETF enables investors to participate in the Bitcoin market without having to directly own or control the underlying asset.
Europe’s Catalyst for Adoption
The introduction of the Jacobi Bitcoin ETF embodies Europe’s progressive approach to cryptocurrency investment and marks a historic departure from the US by providing channels for institutional investors looking for safe access to the potential of digital assets. The CEO of Jacobi Asset Management, Martin Bednall, highlights the importance of regulatory developments in Europe in creating a climate that is favorable for the adoption of cryptocurrencies:
"With regulated structures like our ETF, Europe is leading the way in providing institutional investors with safe and secure exposure to the benefits of digital assets."
This turning point comes after the launch of the Melanion Bitcoin Equities ETF on the Euronext Amsterdam exchange in June 2023, highlighting the area’s dedication to innovation. Europe continues to forge a distinctive route toward embracing the revolutionary power of blockchain and digital assets by seamlessly fusing traditional stocks with the cryptocurrency world.
