U.K. lifts crypto ETN ban for ISAs, but Hargreaves Lansdowne warns against them due to high risk and no intrinsic value.
Hargreaves Lansdowne, the U.K.’s largest investment platform, warns that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not reliable assets due to lack of intrinsic value and unpredictable performance, despite the U.K. lifting its ban on retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) on October 8.
The change allows crypto ETNs to be held in tax-free ISAs, but the firm advises against including them in portfolios, citing extreme risk.
While some experts see Bitcoin as a potential hedge, others remain skeptical, highlighting volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
The firm will offer crypto ETNs to suitable investors starting early 2026.
