Bitcoin Tracker One is denominated in Swedish kronor (SEK), and each ETN represents one tenth of a bitcoin. The ETN has a 1% annual fee and is currently available to investors in Europe and the United Kingdom through a number of online brokerages.

Global Advisors (Jersey) Limited first launched its Bitcoin Investment Fund in September 2014, making it one of the earliest institutional investors in cryptocurrency. The fund holds physical bitcoins and uses them to track the performance of the digital currency’s price movements.

The launch of Bitcoin Tracker One gave investors another way to access the returns of the underlying asset without having to go through the process of buying and storing bitcoins themselves. The ETN offers exposure to both the price movements of Bitcoin and changes in its value due to underlying supply and demand dynamics.

Since its launch, Bitcoin Tracker One has become one of the most popular products for accessing cryptocurrency exposure. It has been particularly popular with European investors who are looking for an easy way to get exposure to Bitcoin without having to deal with the complexities of buying and storing the digital currency themselves.
