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]
  • DDA ETPs are among the most cost-effective crypto ETPs available.

RISKS

  • Digital assets are a new technological innovation with a limited track-record. There is no assurance that usage of digital assets will continue to grow. A contraction in use of digital assets may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the price of such digital assets, which could adversely impact the value of the ETPs.
  • Digital assets are highly volatile and investors may not get their money back should a single digital asset cease to exist. Prices of digital asset may fluctuate due to changing investor confidence.
  • Governmental interventions in the digital assets markets are unpredictable, and may make digital assets or certain digital 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.

Where to buy?

DDA ETPs are listed on traditional exchanges and trade just like stocks or ETFs. Add digital assets exposure to your portfolio using existing bank or brokerage accounts, or choose a new trading platform.  As an investor in DDA ETPs you do not have the need or technical capability to manage crypto wallets or worry about tax implications.

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.
