Nordea Bank, the largest financial institution in Scandinavia, is set to introduce a Bitcoin-linked Exchange Traded Product (ETP) by December 2025. This product will be developed through a partnership with CoinShares International Ltd. Nordea and CoinShares aim to provide customers with exposure to Bitcoin through a regulated, listed vehicle. This initiative marks a pivotal shift from Nordea’s earlier restrictive stance on cryptocurrency investments.

“The new product is manufactured by CoinShares International Limited, and it will be available on Nordea platforms in December 2025. The ETP is designed to enable customers to get exposure to Bitcoin through a regulated, listed vehicle while avoiding direct ownership.” — Frank Vang-Jensen, CEO, Nordea Bank

The launch of this product is expected to affect the Nordic financial landscape, drawing institutional and retail investors to regulated Bitcoin products. Introducing the ETP could lead to significant financial shifts, enhancing institutional investments into Bitcoin. Moreover, it underscores growing trust in digital assets amidst evolving European regulations like MiCA, which have facilitated such product launches, indicating regulatory robustness.

Analysts suggest that higher Bitcoin adoption in the Nordics may soon prompt further innovations. CoinShares and Nordea capitalize on increasing cryptocurrency interest among investors, hinting at more crypto-based products in the future.
