HANetf Launches Euro-Hedged Bitcoin ETC With HSBC Currency Hedge

HANetf has launched the Arrow Bitcoin EUR Hedged ETC (EBTC), giving European investors bitcoin exposure while reducing the impact of EUR/USD currency movements. The ETC carries a 0.49% TER, with HSBC providing the currency hedge. Because bitcoin is priced globally in U.S. dollars, euro-based investors can otherwise see returns affected by both bitcoin price moves and changes in the dollar. EBTC is designed to separate those exposures more closely by hedging the currency component. HANetf describes the product as the world’s first euro-hedged crypto ETC. The launch extends a concept already widely used across equities, bonds and commodities into crypto, as European crypto ETC assets continue to grow and investors place greater focus on how digital asset exposure is structured.
