Bitcoin ETNs are finally “allowed” again in the UK, but advisers are not exactly throwing confetti. In this episode, Dan sits down with James Priday to unpack what’s really slowing adoption, and why the headline change does not automatically translate into real-world advice activity.

You’ll hear why crypto ETNs are still treated as restricted mass market investments, what that means in practice (including appropriateness tests and criteria like high net worth or sophisticated investors), and why platforms and advice firms need extra operational and compliance controls before they get comfortable.

James also breaks down the ETN vs ETF confusion and why that terminology alone can create perceived risk for advisers and clients.

Then it gets properly messy when Dan raises the ISA situation, including the discussion around HMRC confirming that you’re allowed Bitcoin ETNs within an ISA.

This one is not to be missed.
