PANews reported on January 13th that, according to CoinDesk, 21Shares' Bitcoin and Gold ETP (ticker symbol BOLD) began trading on the London Stock Exchange on January 13th. This product offers an exchange-traded investment vehicle (ETF) designed to achieve Bitcoin-like returns while reducing volatility. BOLD integrates Bitcoin and gold into a single risk-weighted portfolio and will be the first UK-listed product to offer both assets in a single ETF. The launch follows the UK's lifting of restrictions on cryptocurrency ETFs in October and comes at a time of rising demand for regulated digital asset investments.

This product was first launched in Switzerland in April 2022 and is currently traded on several major European exchanges. Since its launch, as of the end of 2025, it has achieved a return of 122.5% in GBP terms, outperforming Bitcoin and gold during the same period. The Bitcoin and gold backing this product are held by institutional-grade custodians. Asset allocation is rebalanced monthly to maintain equal levels of risk exposure, rather than equal capital weighting. Intraday trading is available, with a total fee rate of 0.65%.
