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.
- Up to 5 April 2026: You can buy, hold, and sell Crypto ETNs within your ISA as usual.
- From 6 April 2026: You can hold or sell existing positions, but new purchases will not be allowed.
What does this mean for your holdings?
- Existing positions: Any Crypto ETNs purchased on or before 5 April 2026 can remain in your Stocks and Shares ISA. You are not required to sell these holdings.
- New purchases: From 6 April 2026 onwards, you will not be able to open new positions or add to existing Crypto ETN holdings within your ISA. The “Buy” option will be disabled.
- Selling your assets: You will retain full control over your existing Crypto ETN positions and may sell them at your discretion at any time after 6 April 2026.
