[ING Germany Opens Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETP Investment Channels to Retail Investors] Odaily Planet Daily News – Germany's major retail bank, ING Deutschland, has opened investment channels for cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded notes (ETN/ETP) to retail customers, allowing investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other crypto assets through its Direct Depot platform. ING stated that these products are physically-backed instruments issued by institutions such as 21Shares, Bitwise, and VanEck, traded on regulated exchanges, enabling customers to gain exposure to crypto assets without the need to manage wallets or private keys themselves. ING also cautioned that these products still face factors such as significant price volatility, issuer risk, liquidity, and regulatory uncertainty. The bank noted that in Germany, the tax treatment of these ETNs is similar to directly holding crypto assets, potentially qualifying for capital gains tax exemption after holding for more than one year.
