Amundi Bitcoin ETP (BTCA) Lists on Euronext Paris, Priced by CF Benchmarks

Amundi selects CFB index to price first physical crypto ETP

Amundi Bitcoin ETP Lists on Euronext

Amundi has launched the Amundi Bitcoin ETP (Euronext ticker: BTCA) giving investors exchange-traded exposure to Bitcoin through a physically backed product - listed on Euronext Paris.

The ETP's Bitcoin custodian is CACEIS, a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP), approved by France’s ACPR, for the custody and administration of digital assets under the EU's MiCA framework.

BTCA is designed to provide access to Bitcoin’s price performance through a traditional securities-market instrument.

Familiar Wrapper for Bitcoin Exposure

The launch provides institutions with another route to Bitcoin exposure in Europe through the ETP format. Rather than requiring direct holding of Bitcoin, private-key management, or direct interaction with crypto trading venues, the product packages exposure inside a listed instrument that can be accessed through existing market infrastructure.

The structure matters for investors seeking operational simplicity. The ETP format does not alter the underlying volatility or risk profile of Bitcoin, but it does change the way exposure is accessed, held, and monitored within portfolios.

The Leading Bitcoin Benchmark: BRR

The Amundi Bitcoin ETP uses the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate, or BRR, as its Bitcoin reference price.

Administered by CF Benchmarks, BRR is a Registered Benchmark under the UK Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) framework. It has been calculated since November 2016 and is the most liquid Bitcoin price for institutional risk settlement, having settled some $4.0 trillion in cumulative notional volume of CME Bitcoin futures since inception of the contracts in December 2017.

BRR’s transparent, rules-based architecture and proven replicability furnish Amundi Bitcoin ETP with the most accurate and efficient Bitcoin pricing mechanism available.

Material Addition to Europe’s Listed Crypto Market

Amundi’s Bitcoin ETP is a material extension of listed digital asset access by one of Europe’s largest asset managers. The launch offers investors another physically backed Bitcoin product, with valuation anchored to a benchmark already used across institutional crypto products and derivatives markets.

For CF Benchmarks, the listing reinforces the role of the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR) as the core pricing infrastructure for regulated and exchange-traded Bitcoin exposure.
