Amundi is launching a Bitcoin Index product.

Recently, cryptocurrency markets have managed to attract the attention of many investors. Among the world's largest asset managers, Amundi is preparing to launch Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded products (ETPs) in early 2026 through its operations based in France. This move is a clear indication that Bitcoin is being embraced by major financial institutions.

Amundi is recognized as Europe’s largest asset manager with $2 trillion in assets under management. The company aims to introduce Bitcoin-indexed investment products in the first quarter of next year, that is, at the beginning of 2026. This development highlights the growing interest of traditional financial institutions in crypto asset classes in Europe.

With the increasing interest in cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin ETPs will provide investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to Bitcoin prices without holding crypto assets directly. With the European Union's MiCA regulation, the evaluation process of crypto-focused products by major financial institutions has gained momentum. In this context, Amundi's step may serve as an example for other major financial institutions on the continent.

Experts believe that increasing regulatory clarity in the European market could accelerate the proliferation of Bitcoin-based ETPs by 2026. Investors need to closely monitor Bitcoin's price movements and, in particular, the launch date of these new investment vehicles. Amundi's move could bring a breath of fresh air to both the cryptocurrency world and the traditional finance sector.
