What to Know:

• Retail investors can now access the Jacobi Bitcoin ETF via regulated platforms, improving accessibility across Europe.
• Guernsey is highlighted for its regulation, reinforcing its status as a center for compliant digital asset innovation.

The Jacobi Asset Management has made it possible for European retail investors to engage with its Bitcoin BTC ETF, which is valued at $105,363.28. This is a significant change following the lifting of regulations that mandated a minimum investment and restricted access to accredited professionals.

Launched initially in 2023 on Euronext Amsterdam, this ETF aimed to fulfill institutional-grade requirements for security and transparency. Until now, access was exclusive to professionals due to regulatory standards.

With the evolving financial landscape and increasing acceptance of Bitcoin across institutional and governmental sectors, Jacobi partnered with firms such as Collas Crill and Sigma Asset Management to eliminate barriers for retail investor participation.

This change broadens access to the ETF through regulated investment platforms while adhering to each country’s regulations, thus promoting a more inclusive market. The fund’s security measures are under the stewardship of Zodia Custody, ensuring secure institutional-grade safeguarding.

Peter Lane, CEO of Jacobi Asset Management, remarked, “Our fund was designed from day one with a regulated, institutional-grade structure that investors could trust and were familiar with. Now, with greater regulatory alignment and growing public interest, we’re thrilled to extend access to all investors across eligible jurisdictions.”

He further stated, “This marks a milestone not only for Jacobi, but also for Guernsey’s positioning as a forward-looking digital asset jurisdiction.”
