Crypto Exchange SIX Swiss Welcomes iShares as Latest ETP Provider for Digital Assets
In the bustling world of digital assets, iShares, a global leader in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has made its mark at the SIX Swiss Exchange. The financial institution has listed its Bitcoin ETP, providing investors with a familiar and transparent exchange-traded structure to access Bitcoin directly.
As of August 2025, 194 crypto-ETPs are available at the SIX Swiss Exchange, with cryptocurrencies as the underlying assets. These ETPs, including iShares' offering, collectively generated a trading turnover of CHF 2.3 billion in the first seven months of this year, marking a significant 44.5% increase compared to the same period the previous year.
The top two crypto assets by trading volume year-to-date are Bitcoin, leading with a 36.1% share, and Solana, which follows with a 23.0% share. This indicates a growing interest in these digital assets among investors.
Each ETP security corresponds to a specific amount of Bitcoin, known as the crypto asset entitlement. The Bitcoin held in the iShares ETP is stored in cold storage by Coinbase Custody International Limited, ensuring secure storage for investors.
iShares' entry into the digital asset market further solidifies the SIX Swiss Exchange's position as a leading hub for digital asset products. The ETP is supported by leading market makers, making it easily accessible for investors.
iShares focuses on innovation and investor choice, offering a broad range of ETFs that provide access to various asset classes like equities, fixed income, and alternative strategies. The Bitcoin ETP is just one part of their extensive ETF offerings.
By making investing more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective for individuals and institutions worldwide, iShares continues to cement its position as a trusted name in the financial industry. The Bitcoin ETP is a testament to iShares' commitment to staying at the forefront of financial innovation.

- In contrast to the 194 crypto-ETPs available, iShares offers a diversified approach to investing in digital assets, with their Bitcoin ETP complemented by other ETFs that provide access to assets like equities, fixed income, and alternative strategies.
- While the Bitcoin ETP generated a significant trading turnover of CHF 2.3 billion in the first seven months of 20XX, the liquidity of digital assets remains volatile compared to traditional equities and fixed income investments.
