Investors today face a striking dilemma. The S&P500, once the epitome of broad diversification, is now dominated by a small number of AI tech giants. Their share prices have risen so much that the index has almost become a mirror image of a handful of expensive companies. The risk of that is clear: if one of those giants stumbles, the whole market feels the blow. In contrast is the largest cryptocurrency.

Despite fluctuations, it offers momentum that is less dependent on a single cluster of companies.

Whereas the S&P500 floats on overconcentrated and pricey expectations, crypto actually seems to promise more room for new capital flows and growth. For those looking ahead, that's a compelling argument.

Attention crypto fans: The cheapest Bitcoin ETP is here

Just in time for the crypto consolidation comes the cheapest tradable Bitcoin-ETP. There is even another innovative crypto product.

Many investors are reluctant to invest in cryptocurrencies themselves with a third-party provider. We recently reported on alternatives, wie du in Bitcoin investieren kannst, ohne ihn direkt kaufen zu müssen. Especially as crypto ETPs have always been relatively expensive - 1.5 or 2.0 percent running costs quickly add up. Detours are no longer absolutely necessary, because with the new iShares Bitcoin ETP (WKN: A4A59K) there is a low-cost alternative that you can invest in via your existing Depotwith your direct bank or neobroker. At 0.15 percent, the new ETP has around a tenth of the total expense ratio (TER) of competing products. However, the ongoing charges will rise to 0.25 percent from January 1, 2026, which is still within the range of broadly diversified ETFs.
