HANetf2026-09-29 19:08:47HANetf launches euro-hedged Bitcoin fund in Europe, calling it a first of its kindHANetf, an ETF provider with $9.2 billion under management, has launched the Arrow Bitcoin EUR Hedged ETF in Europe. The product is designed to give investors exposure to Bitcoin while reducing the effect of euro-dollar currency swings, an extra layer of risk that can affect returns because Bitcoin is priced in U.S. dollars. HANetf described the exchange-traded commodity as the world’s first euro-hedged Bitcoin product of its kind. In a statement, co-founder and co-CEO Hector McNeil said the launch brings the established logic of euro-hedged ETFs into the crypto market. He said investors have long recognized that currency movements can materially influence returns across asset classes, citing gold as an example, and argued that European investors in Bitcoin products often end up taking a view on both Bitcoin and the dollar at the same time. HSBC will provide the currency hedge for the fund. The structure typically relies on forward contracts that lock in an exchange rate for a future date, with positions usually rolled each month. The report also pointed to strong demand for spot Bitcoin funds in the United States since SEC approval in 2024. According to Coinglass, those U.S. products now hold a combined $111.1 billion in assets.30

HANetf said the product is the first Bitcoin ETC globally to offer a euro currency hedge. The structure is designed for euro-denominated investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin’s price while reducing the effect that swings in the euro-dollar exchange rate can have on investment returns. According to the company, the currency hedging component for the product is provided by HSBC. The launch adds a new route for investors in Europe who want Bitcoin exposure with a built-in hedge against EUR/USD moves, rather than taking on both Bitcoin price risk and foreign-exchange volatility at the same time.160
