BNP Paribas to offer six Bitcoin- and Ether-linked ETNs to retail investors in France

BNP Paribas, one of Europe's largest banks, is broadening its trading lineup with six crypto-linked exchange-traded notes (ETNs) tied to Bitcoin and Ether for retail clients in France. The securities are designed to give investors crypto exposure through standard securities accounts, without the need to directly hold BTC or ETH, and will be offered under the MiFID II regulatory framework. The ETNs are scheduled to launch on March 30, 2026, with the bank planning to extend access to wealth management clients at a later stage.
