Mintos, a European multi-asset investment platform focused on building long-term wealth, jumps into the crypto world with the launch of regulated exchange-traded products (ETPs) that offer crypto exposure from as little as €5.
The crypto ETPs are issued by leading global providers such as BlackRock iShares and VanEck; they track the price of the underlying cryptocurrency and operate similarly to ETFs. This launch strengthens Mintos’ collaboration with Upvest, a partner on the platform’s ETF offering. Through this partnership, Upvest provides the scalable API-based investment infrastructure and intermediation capabilities that underpin the new product.
The new offering allows investors to manage crypto assets alongside loans, bonds, real estate, and ETFs all within the platform. “The crypto world continues to generate strong interest among investors, but complexity and regulatory uncertainty remain significant barriers,” said Martins Sulte, CEO and cofounder. “By offering exposure through regulated ETPs from trusted providers, we enable investors to access this asset class in a way that naturally fits their usual Mintos investment style.”
“Retail investors are increasingly looking to diversify across a broader range of asset classes within platforms they already trust,” stated Martin Kassing, CEO and cofounder of Upvest.
Crypto Gains Ground in Europe
Crypto assets are becoming a staple in European investment portfolios. According to a recent BlackRock survey conducted by YouGov, 22% of European investors already own cryptocurrencies in their portfolios, while official data from the European Central Bank show eurozone holdings more than doubling between 2022 and 2024, reflecting sustained and growing adoption across the region.
At the same time, regulated ETPs are playing an increasingly important role as a gateway to cryptocurrencies. According to CoinShares data, crypto ETPs captured more than $47 billion in net inflows globally in 2025, staying near record levels, with Europe as one of the active markets.
A More Accessible and Regulated Way to Invest in Crypto
The interest is also evident among Mintos users themselves: more than a quarter of respondents in a recent Mintos platform study pointed to cryptocurrencies as an asset class they wanted to have available.
For many investors, this interest reflects a desire to gain exposure without the operational complexity of direct ownership—managing wallets, private keys, or multiple platforms. On Mintos, crypto ETPs are available with reduced fees and a minimum investment of €5, enabling gradual position-building.
With the inclusion of crypto ETPs, Mintos enables its investors to manage a broader range of asset classes in one place, fostering a more diversified, long-term oriented approach.
