Danske Bank Adds Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, Reversing Eight-Year Crypto Restriction

Denmark’s largest bank will offer listed Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded products, providing regulated, indirect crypto exposure to clients.

Feb 11, 20261:56 PMNewsroom AI

Danske Bank announced it will offer Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products (ETPs) on its trading platform, enabling customers to gain indirect exposure to the cryptocurrencies without needing a digital wallet [2][1].

The bank’s platform will list ETPs issued by major providers including BlackRock and WisdomTree and regulated under MiFID II; Danske Bank requires suitability checks and warns that such investments are high risk [2].

The move ends an eight-year restriction on crypto services at Danske Bank and marks a policy reversal that reporting links to growing customer demand and clearer EU regulatory frameworks for crypto assets [3][4].

The decision represents a notable shift for a traditional Danish bank and expands regulated avenues for European investors to access crypto exposure through listed products [1][2][3].
