FiCAS AG is a Swiss-based crypto investment management boutique. The firm devised the Bitcoin Capital Active ETP which is issued by Bitcoin Capital AG. The world’s first actively-managed exchange-traded product is available to both retail and institutional investors in Switzerland. It is also available in selected jurisdictions across Europe.

What is an ETP

One of the first lessons you’ll learn when you start investing is that diversification is key. Put all your hard-earned cash in one sector at your peril. On the other hand, investors know that where there is a risk, there is money to be made. Long-term portfolio management is all about managing that risk-reward balance.

Gaining exposure to individual cryptocurrencies is relatively risky. Reducing that risk means you can invest in cryptocurrency without the threat of losing your house or going bankrupt. This is where ETP comes in. They offer exposure to the entire market without you having to worry about custody or even own the underlying asset.

In fact, investors who aren’t comfortable with crypto volatility can gain exposure at a lower risk profile. That’s is why there is such fierce interest in the first mainstream US exchange to list a crypto-backed ETP. The SEC has repeatedly delayed decisions on Bitcoin ETFs from VanEck and Bitwise.

However, VanEck makes the top seven list for the firms with the largest ETP market share in the USA.

Furthermore, statistics tracker Statistia rates its assets under management approaching $36 billion. iShares ETPs tops the list with a staggering AUM over $1.32 trillion.
