Once available on our platform, UK-listed Crypto ETNs will be eligible to be held in a Trading 212 Stocks ISA. However, HMRC has announced a future change to the tax rules that will affect this.
This is a new rule from the UK government that all investment platforms, including Trading 212, must follow. The official policy statement is on the HMRC website here.
What is changing?
- Initial Eligibility: UK-listed Crypto ETNs will be eligible to be held in a Stocks & Shares ISA.
- The Change from April 6, 2026: New HMRC rules will come into effect from this date, and Crypto ETNs will no longer be eligible to be held in a Stocks & Shares ISA.
What happens after April 6, 2026?
To comply with the new HMRC rules, we will be required to sell any Crypto ETN positions that remain in your Trading 212 Stocks ISA at that time.
The proceeds from this sale will remain in your ISA as cash, so your tax-free allowance will not be affected.
What this means for you?
- You can continue to hold your Crypto ETNs in your Stocks ISA until the proposed date.
- No immediate action is required on your part.
- We will notify you in advance if and when any positions need to be closed.
- Any proceeds from closed positions will remain within your ISA, ensuring your tax benefits are preserved.
📄 Note
We recommend keeping an eye on communications from us and HMRC to stay up to date with any updates regarding ISA eligibility for Crypto ETNs.
