Alternative Investments/Digital: SEBA Bank Launches Four Crypto ETPs On SIX Swiss Exchange

The ETPs offer investors the opportunity to invest in cryptocurrencies without the custody risks.
SEBA Bank, a FINMA-licenced Swiss Bank, and GHCO, a liquidity provider and market maker specializing in exchange-traded funds, have partnered to launch a suite of crypto ETPs on the SIX Swiss Exchange from April 9, 2021.
The launch comprises Bitcoin and Ether Tracker Certificates in USD, a Tracker Certificate on the SEBAX Crypto Asset Select Index, and the first CHF currency-hedged Bitcoin Tracker. (ETF Stream)
The SEBA – GHCO Crypto ETPs
- Bitcoin Tracker Certificate USD (SBTCU) – TER of 0.75%
- Bitcoin Tracker Certificate CHF (SBTCC) – TER of 1.50%
- Ether Tracker Certificate USD (SETH) – TER of 0.75%

The last-named ETP tracks the SEBAX® Crypto Asset Select Index, a widely-used digital assets market index.
Benefits for investors
The products offer 100% backing by coins, institutional-grade custody, quality procedures as expected from a licensed Swiss bank, and the track record of the SEBAX® Crypto Asset Select Index.
Stefan Schwitter, Head Investment Solutions at SEBA Bank, said: “We believe our products stand out based on the institutional-grade quality and the highly competitive price points. We are providing a secure and cost-effective alternative to holding coins directly at exchanges.”
Guido Bühler, CEO SEBA Bank, added: “We set out to build a bridge from traditional banking to the digital world. Our product philosophy and the exceptional performance track record of the SEBAX® Index are a reflection of this ambition.”
