Digital asset exposures

Blockchain’s transformative potential

Introduced over a decade ago as the public transaction ledger for bitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency, blockchain has surpassed its original proof of concept. This underlying technology has woven itself into a wide variety of industries beyond financial transactions, from use in supply chain management to securing patient records in healthcare. 

Invesco CoinShares Global Blockchain UCITS ETF

For investors wishing to capture the investment opportunities of blockchain, our ETF offers exposure to global companies that participate in the blockchain ecosystem. These selected companies are best positioned to benefit from the potential blockchain revolution.

The digital opportunity of bitcoin

Created in 2009, during the depths of the Global Financial Crisis as an alternative to the traditional banking system, bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency, without the need for central banks or authorities. Touted as being ‘fraud-proof’, each bitcoin transaction is verified, copied, and transmitted to other computers, recorded in a distributed ledger known as a blockchain. Bitcoin’s innovative approach to currency, with its decentralised nature and strong security, is revolutionising the financial world.

Invesco Physical Bitcoin

For the low cost of 0.39% p.a., professional investors can gain access to bitcoin through our passive Invesco Physical Bitcoin exchange traded product (ETP). Our ETP is 100% backed by physically held bitcoin with the aim of delivering the price performance of bitcoin, less annual fees.

Frequently asked questions

Someone requests a transaction. That transaction can involve a physical asset, cryptocurrency, medical record, legal contract or any other information. The requested transaction is broadcast to all participants, (‘nodes’). The network of nodes validates the transaction using known algorithms. Once verified the transaction is combined with other transactions to create a new block of data. This new block of data is added to the existing blockchain and is permanent and unalterable. The transaction is then complete. 

There are numerous benefits of using blockchain technologies. They increase record transparency and help with the auditing process. They also help to streamline business processes and can potentially reduce costs when trust or integrity is difficult to enforce.

  • Investment risks

    Invesco CoinShares Global Blockchain UCITS ETF

    The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund might be concentrated in a specific region or sector or be exposed to a limited number of positions, which might result in greater fluctuations in the value of the Fund than for a fund that is more diversified. The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by a number of factors including the activities and results of the issuer and general and regional economic and market conditions. This may result in fluctuations in the value of the Fund.

    Investing in cryptocurrencies is high risk. You should only invest in this product if you understand the risks associated with it. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the relevant prospectus. Prospective investors should consult their professional advisers to ascertain the suitability of this product as an investment to their own circumstances. 

    The value of the product depends on the performance of the underlying investment. Cryptocurrencies do not have any intrinsic value and may become worthless. Volatility Risk: Cryptocurrencies are subject to extreme price volatility as evidenced by the large daily movements in the price of bitcoin since its inception. Cryptocurrency markets do not close, and so sudden price swings could occur at any time. Risk of Hacking: A hack of a depositary wallet could result in the loss of the main body of the underlying cryptoassets backing one or more series of certificates. Such a hack could result in a loss of value of the certificates for all the certificateholders of the affected series. Certificateholders of the affected series would risk losing their entire investment. Liquidity Risk: The product may be adversely affected by a decrease in market liquidity which may impair the ability to exchange cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies. Regulation Risk in the Market of Cryptocurrencies: The price of cryptocurrency can be affected by factors such as global or regional political conditions and regulatory or judicial events
