VanEck, in partnership with Inter Invest, has introduced a groundbreaking initiative to offer Bitcoin exposure within French retirement savings plans.
The move leverages VanEck’s VBTC Bitcoin ETF, valued at $407 million, recently launched on Australia’s top exchange. This ETF enables investors in France’s Pension Savings Plans (PER) to include digital assets in their retirement portfolios.
VBTC ETF, fully collateralized, tracks the MarketVector Bitcoin VWAP Close Index, aligning with investor demand for regulated exposure to cryptocurrency. The ETF boasts a 1% total expense ratio, mirroring the US market’s recent approval and launch of Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC in January.
Martijn Rozemuller, CEO of VanEck Europe, underscored BTC’s potential as a long-term asset despite recent price volatility, which saw BTC retreat to $53,500 in July following a failed retest of its $73,500 peak.
