21Shares, a leading company in the cryptocurrency ETP segment based in Zurich, announced today the launch of four of its 100% collateralized exchange traded notes (ETN) on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), exclusively for professional investors. 

Questo lancio segna ufficialmente l’ingresso di 21Shares nel mercato del Regno Unito, consolidando la sua posizione come uno dei principali fornitori di prodotti finanziari legati alle criptovalute.

The ETNs of 21Shares on the London Stock Exchange

The decision to list these ETNs in the UK was influenced by the recent regulations of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which allow professional investors to access collateralized ETNs on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This regulatory evolution has opened new opportunities for 21Shares, which can now offer its clients regulated and transparent access to digital assets.

Ophelia Snyder, co-founder and president of 21Shares, expressed enthusiasm for this milestone: 

“The United Kingdom is one of the most developed and liquid financial markets in the world. With the growing interest in cryptocurrencies from institutional investors, it is natural that the LSE offers the possibility to invest in cryptocurrencies through responsible and structured funds. In this context, a market-leading company like ours, with a long track record of successes, can play a decisive role. We are excited to be part of the evolution of the crypto world in the UK.”

Anche Hany Rashwan, co-fondatore e CEO di 21Shares, ha sottolineato l’importanza di questo passo: 

“Le criptovalute sono qui per restare. In un mondo sempre più interconnesso, la finanza decentralizzata avrà un ruolo chiave. Sempre più investitori istituzionali vogliono esporsi al potenziale delle criptovalute, integrandole in un portafoglio bilanciato. La domanda esiste già; noi di 21Shares intendiamo fornire i prodotti che soddisfino questa domanda, adattandoci alle evoluzioni normative.”

Company profile of 21Shares AG

Founded in 2018, 21Shares AG is a pioneering company in providing access to investments in criptovalute through traditional and decentralized financial instruments. Its mission is to create reliable and regulatory-compliant investment products that allow investors to securely access the criptovalute market.

The company uses a proprietary platform, Onyx, to develop and test its products before launch. 

This innovative approach has allowed 21Shares to be the first in the world to launch an ETP on cryptocurrencies and to list its products on some of the most important exchanges, such as Nasdaq OMX, Euronext Paris and Amsterdam, Deutsche Börse Xetra and SIX Swiss Exchange.

Currently, 21Shares offers over 40 ETPs, including 7 basket ETPs and 2 short ETPs, to meet the needs of a wide range of investors. With more than 3.6 billion dollars in asset under management (AUM), 21Shares continues to expand its global presence and innovate in the cryptocurrency investment sector.

The entry of 21Shares into the British market represents a significant step in its global expansion strategy, further strengthening its position as a leader in the cryptocurrency ETP sector.

Conclusions 

With the official entry of 21Shares into the UK market through the listing of its four new ETNs on the London Stock Exchange, the company once again demonstrates its ability to adapt and grow in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. 

Questo evento non solo rafforza la posizione di 21Shares come leader globale negli ETP sulle criptovalute, ma rappresenta anche un’opportunità significativa per gli investitori professionali britannici di accedere a prodotti finanziari innovativi e regolamentati.

The co-founder Ophelia Snyder and the CEO Hany Rashwan expressed great enthusiasm for this expansion, emphasizing the importance of providing secure and transparent investment solutions in a market increasingly interested in the potential of cryptocurrencies. 

With a growing range of products and a constant commitment to innovation, 21Shares continues to lead the future of digital investments globally.
