| 21Shares, one of the world's largest issuers of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), calls for regulatory clarity to unlock crypto opportunities for European investors
October 7, 2024--21Shares AG ("21Shares"), one of the world's largest issuers of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), is urging the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to create a unified regulatory framework for including crypto assets in UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) funds. This move would provide much-needed clarity for retail and institutional investors across Europe. |
| As it stands, the rules around including crypto assets in UCITS funds are inconsistent across Europe. There are UCITS holding crypto in countries like Germany and Malta, while in others countries, like Luxembourg and Ireland, this is not the case. These discrepancies create confusion, making it difficult for investors to understand and compare their options. |
