21Shares announces the launch of four ETNs on the London Stock Exchange

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-founder 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.”
