Product Benefits

100% Physically Backed and Secured 

DDA Crypto ETPs replicate the performance of the underlying index with competitive management fees and give the holder of the note a claim on the predefined amount of the asset.

Regulated and trusted Custody Solutions

Digital assets are conveniently stored at specialized custodians such as BaFin-regulated Coinbase Germany GmbH or French AFM-regulated “Aplo”. Investors do not require the technical expertise to manage several wallets and private keys.

Trades like an ETF on European Exchanges

The DDA crypto ETPs trade like a stock or an ETF and are available on European stock exchanges, such as Deutsche Börse Xetra, Euronext Paris & Amsterdam, SIX Swiss Exchange and Börse Stuttgart. 

Portfolio diversification with crypto investments

Digital assets have proven to be a diversifier to a portfolio composed of traditional asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. An investment into digital assets can have a positive impact on portfolio returns, volatility and the portfolio Sharpe Ratio due to long-term correlation characteristics.

Chances & Risks

CHANCES

  • DDA ETPs provide exposure to digital assets via a traditional investment infrastructure through your bank or brokerage. Traditional investors are thereby able to conveniently participate in the price and yield performance of digital assets.
  • DDA ETPs are always 100% collateralized – they are always fully invested in the underlying such as Bitcoin or Ethereum or a basket of digital assets. German retail investors may enjoy a preferable tax treatment after a 12 months holding period[1]

RISKS

  • Crypto assets are a new technological innovation with a limited track-record. There is no assurance that usage of crypto assets will continue to grow. A contraction in use of crypto assets may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the price of such crypto assets, which could adversely impact the value of the ETPs.
  • Crypto Assets are highly volatile and investors may not get their money back should a single crypto asset cease to exist. Prices of crypto assets may fluctuate due to changing investor confidence.  
  • Governmental interventions in the crypto assets markets are unpredictable, and may make crypto assets or certain crypto assets illegal altogether. Future regulations and directives in some jurisdictions may conflict with those others, and such regulatory actions may restrict or make some or all digital assets illegal in some jurisdictions.

1Income taxation for German investors: the notes should not qualify as other capital claims within the meaning of section 20 para. 1 no. 7 german income tax act (Einkommensteuergesetz, “EStG”) and the sale and redemption of the notes should, therefore, not lead to taxable investment income pursuant to section 20 EStG being subject to the flat tax regime (Abgeltungsteuer) (25% plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge and church taxes as the case may be) irrespective of any holding period. rather the provisions on private sales transactions (also known as “short-term capital gains”) pursuant to sections 22 no. 2, 23 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 2 sentence 1 EStG should apply which means that the acquisition and sale of notes by a private investor should only be taxable in germany if the period between acquisition and sale does not exceed one year (for the calculation of the one year period, the conclusion of the purchase and sale transaction under the law of obligations is decisive in each case). If a private investor sells his notes more than one year after he has acquired them, such sale should not be subject to tax. moreover, the redemption of the notes should not constitute a sale under the private sales transaction rules.
