The Paris-based fund manager referenced inflation resilience and portfolio diversification as the primary drivers behind its move into crypto-linked investment products. Amundi’s planned Bitcoin ETNs, Europe’s equivalent to the US ETFs, are expected to launch in early 2026, signaling a strategic push to capture rising institutional demand for compliant exposure to crypto.

The timing aligns with crypto regulations’ openness in Europe, with the Polish parliament adopting the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework in late September, offering fund managers clearer legal frameworks to introduce blockchain-based financial products.

Amundi Set to Rival BlackRock as US Regulations Set Global Standards

According to Gregory Raymond’s post, Amundi’s imminent Bitcoin ETNs will debut two years behind US spot Ethereum ETH $4 260 24h volatility: 2.9% Market cap: $514.49 B Vol. 24h: $50.61 B and Bitcoin ETFs which began trading in January 2024. The analyst predicts that Amundi’s move could propel the global crypto secondary market to new heights by enhancing Bitcoin’s legitimacy among institutional investors in Europe.

With over €2 trillion in assets, Amundi could rival Wall Street’s dominance in the crypto ETF race. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) currently holds more than 4% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, acquiring over 800,000 BTC, currently valued at nearly $100 billion within just 20 months of trading.
