“BITCOIN FOR GROWTH, GOLD FOR TRUST , BOLD BLENDS BOTH, BECAUSE BALANCE IS A MUST.”
Is this how regulated digital assets investing will develop in the UK? On the London Stock Exchange (LSE), 21Shares has introduced BOLD, a new exchange-traded product (ETP) that offers investors an easy method to invest in both gold and Bitcoin in one vehicle.
The first product to be listed in the UK that combines these two assets into a single regulated investment trust is called BOLD. Following recent modifications to UK regulations that permit wider access to cryptocurrency ETPs, it started trading on January 13, 2026.
Physically backed Bitcoin and gold are kept in the ETP by institutional-grade custodians. Investors can have exposure to both assets through this structure without really owning them.
Through the end of 2025, BOLD has returned over 122.5% in British pounds since its first launch on Swiss exchanges in April 2022, beating both Bitcoin and gold alone throughout that time.
In order to maintain a balanced risk exposure between Bitcoin and gold, BOLD employs a monthly risk-weighted rebalancing technique that modifies holdings. Compared to holding Bitcoin alone, this strategy seeks to reduce total volatility.
BOLD has a total expense ratio of 0.65%, which includes management and custody expenses, and investors can trade it during market hours.
