Bitcoin Group SE joins Germany's first Blockchain Index Fund (ETF)
Herford, November 19, 2020 - Bitcoin Group SE (ISIN DE000A1TNV91) continues to successfully increase its level of awareness and at the same time interest on the investor side. Since the end of October 2020, the Group has become the newest member of the first blockchain exchange traded fund (ETF) launched in Germany. In March 2019, the US investment company Invesco launched the Invesco Elwood Global Blockchain ETF (ISIN: IE00BGBN6P67). The fund tracks the Elwood Blockchain Global Equity Index.
The index contains companies from industrialised and emerging markets that seize the opportunities offered by the blockchain ecosystem. It is therefore structured to evolve in line with the potential growth of blockchain technology. The index is reviewed and rebalanced on a quarterly basis. This is how Bitcoin Group SE became part of the portfolio at the end of October.
"The inclusion in the index will certainly have a positive impact on our name recognition and perception as a promising company in the field of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. We are very pleased about this news and the fact that it will also attract attention beyond the borders of our home market," said Marco Bodewein, Managing Director of Bitcoin Group SE.

About Bitcoin.de:
Bitcoin.de is a licensed Bitcoin marketplace in Germany and Europe's largest Bitcoin marketplace with more than 900,000 customers. After more than 9 years of operation, Bitcoin.de has the reputation of being one of the most secure Bitcoin marketplaces in the world. Since users do not transfer euros to a trust account but pay conveniently from their bank account, the euros used for trading are even deposit-backed. The cryptocurrencies managed by Bitcoin.de, on the other hand, are held 98% in secure cold wallets. Bitcoin.de is the first and only Bitcoin trading platform worldwide to have its customer credit balances audited once a year by a publicly appointed German auditing company (last audit as of October 08, 2019). The unique integration with a bank account of the Fidor Bank via express trading allows trading to be carried out as quickly as on a stock exchange. In addition to Bitcoin, on Bitcoin.de Ether (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin Gold (BTG), Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) can be traded against Euro.
