Britons have just one month to reopen: crypto ETNs will no longer be allowed in ISAs Starting April 6, the start of the new tax year, investors in the UK will no longer be able to add crypto ETNs to their tax-advantaged ISAs. This was reported by the Financial Times. 📌 What's changing? The UK tax office, HMRC, is reclassifying crypto ETNs. They will now only be accepted in IFISAs (Innovative Finance ISAs), not in traditional stocks and securities ISAs. The problem is that:
👉 IFISAs are a niche product
👉 They are almost never offered by major investment platforms
👉 None of the 57 licensed ISA platforms plan to support crypto ETNs In effect, investors are losing access to tax protection. 💰 Why is this important? ISAs allow you to invest up to £20,000 per year without tax on income or capital gains. There are two main formats: Cash ISA (similar to deposits) Stocks & Shares ISA (stocks and exchange-traded instruments) The Financial Conduct Authority's decision to allow retail investors access to crypto-ETNs was previously considered a major step forward for the UK crypto market. Now, this progress is being partially reversed. ⚖️ What about existing ETNs? If crypto-ETNs are already in an ISA, you won't be forced to sell them. This is done to avoid market turbulence. HMRC explained the restriction by the "innovative nature" of the instrument and the fact that the market is still developing. They promise to review the decision. 🌍 Risk of being left behind? Compared to the US and Europe, where crypto ETPs are actively integrating into traditional investment products, the UK risks appearing less flexible. According to the Financial Times, Fidelity believes this approach calls into question the government's commitment to providing regulated access to digital assets. 📉 Bottom line: UK investors have just one month to take advantage of the current rules. ▶️This is James | This is Serj
