Europe’s banking giant UniCredit will offer its professional clients a structured product linked to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) that provides 100% capital protection at maturity.
Key details:
The product is a five-year, dollar-denominated investment certificate.
It guarantees the return of the initial capital at maturity, even if the ETF declines in value.
Participation in the ETF’s upside is capped at 85% of its performance.
The minimum investment is $25,000 and it is available exclusively to professional clients in Italy from July 1 to July 28.
This is the first such offering for Italian investors, reflecting growing institutional demand for secure, regulated Bitcoin exposure in Europe.
This move enables risk-averse investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s potential gains through a trusted financial product, without risking their principal.
