“This expansion enables us to offer an even broader toolkit of single-asset and index-based crypto ETPs, giving both retail and institutional investors the ability to tailor their digital asset exposure within a trusted and transparent framework,” he added.
With listings on multiple exchanges in Europe and the US, 21Shares is one of the largest crypto ETP providers, managing nearly $8 billion in assets globally, which accounts for roughly 4% of the total $191.5 billion in crypto ETFs issued worldwide.
to CoinShares data, roughly half of 21Shares’ AUM is held in US crypto ETFs, issued in partnership with Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest.
Many, many crypto ETFs
The crypto ETP expansion by 21shares comes amid a wave of new crypto funds flooding the US market, with spot XRP () ETFs last week.
Following Canary Capital’s launch of the first spot XRP ETF, more XRP funds are expected to debut in the coming days, including ETFs from Bitwise and Grayscale, scheduled to launch today and Monday, respectively.
According to ETF expert Nate Geraci, XRP became the sixth asset to underpin a single-asset crypto ETF in the US, following Bitcoin (), Ether (), Solana, Litecoin () and Hedera ().
Although optimism around new US crypto ETFs has been on the rise, Bitcoin ETFs, the gateway crypto funds that debuted trading in January 2024, have struggled recently.
