Crypto trading via ETPs on regulated exchanges |
Popular crypto ETPs in the Scalable Broker
These crypto ETPs are currently frequently traded.
In the Scalable Broker you can trade in the following crypto currencies:
ETPs enable secure crypto trading
Trading cryptocurrencies via exchange-traded products (ETPs) offers several
advantages compared to a direct investment.
What are Crypto ETPs?
Crypto ETPs (exchange-traded products) are exchange-traded securities that track the value of cryptocurrencies. The investor receives a claim to a payment or to the delivery of an underlying by the issuer. This allows investors to participate in the price changes of a crypto currency without the need for a dedicated crypto wallet.
Easy access
ETPs allow for participation in the cryptocurrency market without the need to directly purchase and store digital assets, which can be a complex and risky process.
Regulation
ETPs are traded on regulated exchanges, providing investors with access to a regulated marketplace and potentially lowering the counterparty risk.
Liquidity
Trading crypto via ETPs offers liquidity and ease of trading, allowing investors to buy and sell positions during market hours without the need for a cryptocurrency wallet or managing private keys.
Custody
Your crypto ETPs are held securely in your securities account at Scalable Capital. The ETP issuer takes over the custody of the cryptocurrencies. Thereby, the underlying cryptocurrencies are physically deposited with crypto custodians.

Risks in trading with cryptocurrencies
- Cryptocurrencies are subject to particularly high price fluctuations. Investors can therefore suffer considerable losses within a very short time (market price risk).
- Immediate tradability cannot be guaranteed. Investors may not be able to sell their positions immediately or only by realising a significant price loss (liquidity risk).
- The cryptocurrencies held by the issuers as collateral are stored in wallets by securing private cryptographic keys. Loss of or improper handling of these keys may result in the complete loss of the ability to access the crypto holdings. Lost, unsecured keys cannot be recovered, which may result in losses for the investor (custody risk).
- At Scalable Broker, exchange-traded securities (exchange-traded products, or ETPs for short) are offered that track the value of cryptocurrencies. These products are bearer bonds of the issuer. The investor thereby receives a claim to a payment or to the delivery of an underlying by the issuer. Should the issuer become insolvent and a possible collateralisation of the product not be of value, the investor can thus suffer a considerable loss up to a total loss (issuer risk).
- There is also the risk that access to cryptocurrencies is influenced by changing political, legal and regulatory framework conditions. This can have an impact on the value and tradability of cryptocurrencies (legal and political risks).
