Physical Delivery Option for Retail Investors

A Holder can only exercise its termination right through an Authorized Participant, if he qualifies in accordance with client acceptance policies of the respective Authorized Participant (which the Issuer has no influence over). The termination can be exercised through any Authorized Participant whether or not the Notes were acquired through the Authorized Participant receiving the notice or acquired through a secondary market. In such case, the Notes will be redeemed in BTC to the Digital Wallet of the Holder, unless a Holder is prevented from receiving BTC for legal or regulatory reasons (such as Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) within the meaning of Article 1 of the Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009). In such cases the Holder, acting through an Authorized Participant, may demand redemption in USD and EUR in which case the BTC will be converted into USD or EUR in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Terms and Conditions on a date fixed for redemption.

About the Issuer

 DDA ETP GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of DDA Europe GmbH and the issuer of a physically backed Bitcoin Exchange Traded Product (“ETP”) (ISIN: DE000A3GK2N1; Ticker: XBTI). DDA Europe GmbH is the holding company of a series of subsidiaries that manage and issue crypto asset investment products. Collectively, DDA Europe GmbH and its subsidiaries are branded as “DDA”.

Composition of the product

The underlying of the Notes is Bitcoin, commonly known by the ticker symbol BTC. BTC was the first decentralised cryptocurrency. It was released as open-source software in 2009. BTC was developed to secure payment transactions over a peer-to-peer network (blockchain). The intention of the creation of BTC is to bridge the need for a trusted third party, to democratize the monetary system and ensure the anonymity of transactions made through the blockchain. In contrast to traditional currencies where governments or central banks have the power to increase the money supply at will, the supply of bitcoin is capped at 21 million units hardwired within its codebase. Despite the emergence of many alternative cryptocurrencies Bitcoin still remains the largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization and user acceptance.

Bitcoin ETP

Why invest?

Portfolio diversification with crypto investments. Digital assets have proven to be a diversifier to a portfolio composed of traditional asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. An investment into digital assets can have a positive impact on portfolio returns, the standard deviation and the portfolio Sharpe Ratio due to long-term correlation characteristics. Find out more about the impact of crypto allocations on different portfolio models on our research report here.

DDA ETPs physically-backed by cryptocurrencies enable investors to participate cost efficiently in the price development of a single digital asset or a basket of digital assets from their personal bank accounts – just as they experience investing in stocks, bonds or ETFs. All products are at all times 100% collateralized by the respective underlying, stored in “cold storage” at regulated custodians and are listed on European stock exchanges. DDA ETPs are tradable via brokers and custodian banks. Similar to an ETF, tax withholding for DDA ETPs is done automatically by the custodian bank

Chances & Risks

CHANCES

  • DDA ETPs provide exposure to digital assets via a traditional investment infrastructure through your bank or brokerage. Traditional investors are thereby able to conveniently participate in the price and yield performance of digital assets.
  • DDA ETPs are always 100% collateralized – they are always fully invested in the underlying such as Bitcoin or Ethereum or a basket of digital assets. German retail investors may enjoy a preferable tax treatment after a 12 months holding period[1]
  • DDA ETPs are among the most cost-effective crypto ETPs available.

RISKS

  • Digital assets are a new technological innovation with a limited track-record. There is no assurance that usage of digital assets will continue to grow. A contraction in use of digital assets may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the price of such digital assets, which could adversely impact the value of the ETPs.
  • Digital assets are highly volatile and investors may not get their money back should a single digital asset cease to exist. Prices of digital asset may fluctuate due to changing investor confidence.
  • Governmental interventions in the digital assets markets are unpredictable, and may make digital assets or certain digital assets illegal altogether. Future regulations and directives in some jurisdictions may conflict with those others, and such regulatory actions may restrict or make some or all digital assets illegal in some jurisdictions.
