ING Germany, the retail banking unit of Dutch multinational ING Group, has expanded cryptocurrency investment options for its clients. The bank is adding exchange-traded products from Bitwise and exchange-traded notes from VanEck to its platform. This move increases traditional finance access to digital assets despite a challenging market, with Bitcoin trading down 10% year-to-date.
ING Germany is broadening cryptocurrency investment access through new partnerships with U.S. asset managers Bitwise and VanEck. The bank is rolling out crypto exchange-traded products from Bitwise and crypto exchange-traded notes from VanEck.
The new offerings join existing ING-listed investment vehicles from 21Shares, WisdomTree, and BlackRock’s iShares. These launches occur as Bitcoin trades 10% down year-to-date, reflecting adoption by traditional finance.
Starting in February, ING Germany clients can trade Bitwise crypto ETPs with order sizes of at least $1,180 without execution fees. Smaller orders are subject to a $4.60 commission, according to Bitwise.
“The products can also be used for savings plans without execution fees,” the company noted. Bitwise said the partnership underscores both companies’ long-term commitment to digital assets.
The promotion covers the full Bitwise product range on Deutsche Börse Group’s Xetra platform. The offer focuses on three key products: Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, Bitwise MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP, and Bitwise Physical Ethereum ETP.
VanEck’s crypto ETNs listed on ING include 10 securities linked to Bitcoin, Ether, Algorand, Avalanche, Chainlink, Polkadot, Polygon, and Solana. The list also includes two basket ETNs.
Global crypto ETPs have had a rough start to 2026, losing $3.43 billion over the past two weeks. They posted $1 billion in outflows year-to-date, according to SoSoValue data.
After the recent sell-off, Bitcoin ETFs rebounded on Monday, attracting $562 million in inflows. This data was provided by the same tracking service monitoring the sector.
