HANetf Unveils Euro-Hedged Bitcoin ETC
HANetf has launched a new ETC (Exchange-Traded Composite) that provides euro-hedged exposure to Bitcoin. The Arrow Bitcoin EUR Hedged ETC, or EBTC, aims to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations for European investors.
The launch is significant because it's the first euro-hedged crypto ETC in the world, according to HANetf. This means that instead of being priced solely in US dollars, Bitcoin will now be denominated in euros as well.
As of June 2026, European investors hold over $12 billion in crypto-tracking assets within the bloc, data from ETFBook shows.
HANetf's Hector McNeil notes that currency movements can have a significant impact on returns across different asset classes. He adds that euro-hedged ETCs are 'conspicuous by their absence' in the crypto market, despite being common in other areas of finance.
