Zurich & Stockholm — June 16, 2025 — In a move underscoring the growing strength of crypto adoption in Europe, 21Shares AG, one of the world’s largest issuers of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), today announced the listing of five new ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm. The suite includes single-asset and staking-enabled products aiming to address retail and institutional demand in the resilient Nordic market.
This latest cross-listing from 21Shares brings its total number of ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm to ten—doubling its product offering on the exchange. The newly listed ETPs are:
- Uniswap ETP (AUNI)
- Avalanche ETP (AVAX)
- Bitcoin Gold ETP (BOLD)
- Solana Core Staking ETP (CSOL)
- Ethereum Core ETP (ETHC)
These join existing staples such as the Bitcoin ETP (ABTC), Ethereum ETP (AETH), Solana ETP (ASOL), XRP ETP (AXRP), and Bitcoin Core ETP (CBTC). With exposures spanning DeFi, layer-1 interoperability, staking income, and classic large-cap crypto, 21Shares is positioning itself to meet a broad array of investor preferences.
“Our continued expansion in the Nordic region reflects the increasing demand from both retail and institutional investors for diversified and cost-effective crypto exposure,” said Mandy Chiu, Head of Financial Product Development at 21Shares. Enhanced access is vital, particularly in Sweden—characterized by robust digital asset adoption and growing investor sophistication.
Helena Wedin, Head of ETF & ETP for Nasdaq European markets, echoed this sentiment: “These newly listed ETPs reflect the kind of innovation that is shaping the future of financial markets…”. By enabling trading of physically backed crypto assets through familiar stock tickers, 21Shares is making digital asset investment seamless and compliant.
All 21Shares ETPs are fully collateralized, meaning they hold the underlying assets (e.g., ETH, SOL) directly. This structure eliminates counterparty risk and avoids replication through derivatives. Notably, the Solana staking ETP (CSOL) lets investors earn staking rewards, adding yield generation to price appreciation.
Annual management fees range from 0.21% to 2.50%, keeping costs competitive with traditional ETPs while offering innovative features like staking income and unorthodox crypto exposure.
Founded in 2018, 21Shares has rapidly scaled its assets under management to over $9 billion and now lists products across 11 exchanges, including Euronext, the London Stock Exchange, and Six Swiss Exchange.
Earlier this month, 21Shares debuted a Hedera ETP (HDRA) on Euronext Paris and Amsterdam, offering exposure to HBAR—a token driven by enterprise-grade distributed ledger technology. In early June, they also welcomed the UK’s FCA announcement extending retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes (ETNs) via the London Stock Exchange, signaling an expanded European attitude toward regulated crypto investment.
Across its full product suite, 21Shares offers categories including single-asset holdings, diversified index strategies, staking-enabled assets, and thematic exposures like the Bitcoin Gold ETP, which positions itself as a “smart index” option combining digital assets with tangible precious metal concepts.
Europe’s crypto regulatory environment has matured significantly thanks to MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) standards, fostering investor confidence and attracting providers like 21Shares . Meanwhile, Nordic markets like Sweden, Finland, and Denmark have seen increasing retail trading, institutional participation, and a regulatory climate receptive to crypto asset innovation.
By concentrating on stable, familiar exchange venues, collateral-backed products, and staking yield, 21Shares is creating a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised finance.
For investors seeking calibrated crypto exposure, 21Shares now offers avenues into DeFi tokens (e.g. Uniswap), L1 interoperability (Avalanche), gold-like digital assets (Bitcoin Gold), and yield pigeonholes via staking (Solana). Meanwhile, existing mainstream choices such as Bitcoin and Ethereum remain available for capital allocation.
However, investors should be mindful of risks. Despite physical backing, ETPs still carry price volatility linked to their underlying assets. Staking products add protocol risks, alongside potential lockup periods. Costs—while reasonable—vary across product types.
Institutional adoption is also rising: as 21Shares builds its European footprint, competing ETP providers may respond with expanded offerings, creating a broader landscape for digital asset investment.
The introduction of five new crypto ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm by 21Shares is a significant development in Europe’s digital asset journey. By offering regulated, collateralized exposure with innovative themes like staking and altcoin exposure, the firm is doubling down on the Nordic market, where demand for such instruments continues to rise.
As Europe’s regulatory architecture matures, investors now have more tools to access crypto in a familiar, brokerage-friendly format. Whether entering via flagship assets like Bitcoin or diving into uncharted waters with Avalanche or Uniswap, 21Shares ensures those tools are just a ticker away.
