UK investors can once again invest in cryptocurrency ETNs without incurring tax liabilities, thanks to Stratiphy's approval to offer these products within a tax-free Individual Savings Account (ISA) wrapper. Stratiphy, a personalized investment platform, will provide access to three ETNs from 21Shares, covering bitcoin, ether, and a combination of BTC and gold. This development comes after the UK's tax authority, HMRC, classified crypto ETNs as IFISA-eligible instruments, effectively limiting their availability.
Stratiphy's move is expected to revitalize the UK's crypto investment landscape, allowing users to diversify their portfolios with a new, low-correlation asset class. With a current management portfolio of £4 million for 2,000 clients, Stratiphy's CEO, Daniel Gold, notes a significant interest in these crypto products, highlighting their potential for portfolio diversification.
