Which S&S ISA (or SIPP) providers have Crypto ETFs available ?

I'm about to sell my profitable crypto coin for £6k profit to avoid future CGT (and keep the losing coin for a while). But I don't want to get out of crypto now that I am finally in profit! My current ISA is with ii and I can't find any crypto ETFs there to make a quick swap easy.
So looking to move £20k into a new S&S ISA and into crypto ETFs as soon after 5th April as possible.
edit: Or SIPP provider offering crypto ETF as it doesn't matter which CGT exempt wrapper.

Crypto ETF's are a new thing, and currently only available in the US as far as I know.
Even if they were available in the UK, it is not clear they would be a regulated investment suitable for inclusion in an ISA.2 -
You may be better off looking into SIPP providers who offer access to US markets.

But thinking about it now, SIPP doesn't help me much does it? If when I draw my pension I've already used my tax free allowance, then I will be taxed on the gains. Ah .. 25% tax free. So SIPP is 25% efficient at avoiding tax on any gains compared to ISA which is 100% efficient.

The pension is more tax efficient , but the money can not be touched until you are in your late Fifties.0 -
I could have added that I do put as much as I can get relief on into my pension. So whatever I do with this crypto exposure doesn't affect my tax relief on pension contributions.
Seems we (UK) can buy ETFs that are invested in the Blockchain/DeFi industry. But not yet the 'Spot' ETFs that are directly in the Assets (coins). I may go for some of these crypto industry ETFs.
But I do have superstitious FOMO feelings. I would bet on the coin I sell going up after I sell it. ..... Maybe that's the answer: use derivatives / betting markets rather than buying the asset.
