{"content":"Europe’s Biggest Asset Manager 🏦 – Amundi Plans Bitcoin ETP for 2026 Amundi, Europe's biggest asset manager, may establish the first Bitcoin ETP. The first crypto fund from a prominent EU financial corporation is due in 2026. Amundi will emulate BlackRock's 800,000-BTC IBIT ETF. The first crypto fund issued by a big European issuer, Amundi, is expected to launch its first Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded product (ETP) early in 2026. Amundi, Europe's biggest asset manager with €2.3 trillion in assets, is said to be launching a Bitcoin ETP in 2026, as reported by The Big Whale on Monday. The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework gives fund managers better requirements and greater protections for establishing blockchain-based financial products in Europe. The first big European asset manager to adopt BlackRock's strategy is Amundi, which manages over €2 trillion. Over 800,000 BTC, worth approximately 4% of the world supply and $97 billion, are in BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF. "After watching the BlackRock hurricane from afar for a long time, the European asset management giant is taking the plunge," stated Big Whale co-founder Gregory Raymond. The move indicates rising demand for crypto ETFs, which provide investors direct asset price exposure. CoinShares data shows $3.17 billion in crypto product inflows last week. Bitcoin investment products dominated the market with $2.67 billion in weekly inflows, reaching a record $30.2 billion year-to-date. Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple lead altcoins in inflows despite the market fall late last week. Other prominent regional banking institutions may follow Amundi's crypto product launch. Euro-pegged stablecoins from nine European banks show European enterprises' expansion into other crypto areas. To challenge the US Dollar in Europe, the stablecoin will launch in 2026. #ETP #EULBinanceHODLer #BNBBreaksATH #TrumpTariffs #CryptoMarketAnalysis $BTC $ETH $BNB ","images":["https://d35imkjvkj28kt.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025102025/10/14/b361eec8e3ae41efb88b2a274d5e4340.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["BNB/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
