Mintos, a leading European multi-asset investment platform, has expanded into the cryptocurrency market with the launch of regulated crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs). The new products, available from just €5, allow investors to gain exposure to major cryptocurrencies without directly handling wallets or private keys.
The crypto ETPs are issued by globally recognized providers, including BlackRock, iShares, and VanEck, and mirror the structure of traditional ETFs. Mintos’ collaboration with Upvest ensures that the ETPs benefit from scalable, API-driven infrastructure and brokerage capabilities, streamlining access for retail investors.
Regulated crypto ETPs let investors buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies through traditional brokerage accounts without managing wallets or private keys. The actual crypto backs them, follows strict regulations, and uses secure custodians, making them safer and simpler than direct ownership. Major issuers include BlackRock iShares, VanEck, and CoinShares, while platforms like BUX and Mintos provide easy access. ETPs offer lower fees, simpler tax reporting, and reduced risk, though cryptocurrency volatility remains a factor.
Seamless crypto access for investors
The introduction of crypto ETPs enables Mintos users to integrate cryptocurrency investments alongside loans, bonds, real estate, and ETFs within a single platform. “Crypto continues to attract investor interest, but complexity and regulatory concerns remain key barriers,” said Martins Sulte, CEO of Mintos. “Regulated ETPs provide a simple and secure way to participate in this growing asset class.”
Europe’s growing crypto market
Crypto adoption across Europe is accelerating, with 22% of European investors already holding digital assets, according to a BlackRock People & Money Survey. Data from CoinShares shows crypto ETPs attracted over $47 billion in net inflows globally in 2025, underscoring growing institutional and retail interest. Mintos’ low-fee ETPs, with minimum investments starting at €5, aim to make gradual portfolio building accessible to a wider audience while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Meanwhile, Crypto investment products attracted more than $1 billion in inflows last week, extending a three-week streak that analysts say highlights growing confidence in digital assets despite global geopolitical tensions.
