The reduction of fees on European products
As reported by the Financial Times, European brokers are reducing fees on Bitcoin ETPs following the SEC approval of spot ETFs and the entry of major players like BlackRock and Fidelity into the market.
Gary Buxton, Head of ETF Products at Invesco for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region, stated that the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs has led to an ‘unprecedented offering of new products‘ for U.S. investors. Previously such investors had to turn to Canadian or European markets to gain exposure to Bitcoin.
Invesco and WisdomTree have lowered their fees by over 60% on European products. WisdomTree’s ETP fees will decrease from 0.95% to 0.35%, while Invesco’s ETP costs will drop from 0.99% to 0.39%.”
