Crypto investments of the future: Bitpanda launches Bitcoin Exchange Traded Cryptocurrency



Bitpanda is expanding its product range and bringing a new Bitcoin ETC In the future, the company plans to add more ETC products to give even more traditional investors access to cryptocurrencies.

With the introduction of a Bitcoin ETC (Exchange Traded Cryptocurrency), Bitpanda would like to make a further contribution to connecting the crypto market with the classic stock market.


ETCs are exchange-traded cryptocurrencies that track the price of Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. Every ETC is 100 percent physically deposited with the underlying asset and is tradable on an exchange similar to stocks. This gives investors a safe and liquid way to trade cryptocurrencies.

The advantage of ETCs is that, unlike a direct investment in Bitcoin and Co., you do not need to have any prior technical knowledge of setting up a crypto wallet. Investors only need a crypto wallet if they want to exchange their ETC products for the deposited crypto currency. The ETC issuers hold the Bitcoin in safe custody and ensure that its origin meets strict know-your-customer procedures and anti-money laundering standards. In addition, taxes are automatically paid with ETCs and investors do not have to worry about the often complicated tax requirements for cryptocurrencies.

The disadvantage, however, is that you cannot store the physical coins yourself - a core value proposition of Bitcoin.


"Bitcoin and Co. have gained enormous traction"

The Bitpanda Bitcoin ETC can be traded in euros on the XETRA electronic exchange. The product is available to investors through their existing bank or broker.

With the introduction of the Bitcoin ETC, Bitpanda wants to make entry into cryptocurrencies even easier, says Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth.

The introduction of the Bitcoin ETC and other “Bitpanda Crypto Tracker” represents the next logical step for us to harness the power of cryptocurrencies, digitized assets and blockchain technology, and to develop simple financial products that are accessible to everyone. We expect that investors will tap new earnings potential with the Bitpanda Bitcoin ETC and diversify their portfolios. 

Bitcoin ETC will primarily appeal to traditional investors who want to diversify their portfolios and gain access to the world of cryptocurrencies. In addition, his company plans to bring further ETC products onto the market in the future so that traditional investors can also have access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
