Asset manager 21Shares has introduced the 21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 Index ETF (TTOP) and the 21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 ex-BTC Index ETF (TXBC). These ETFs are designed to provide broad exposure to the digital asset market by tracking FTSE Russell cryptocurrency indexes. Rather than focusing on a single token, these funds hold a basket of top crypto assets by market capitalization, offering investors diversified access to the crypto space.
Federico Brokate, Global Head of Business Development at 21Shares, highlighted the parallels between these products and traditional index funds. He stated that just as index funds have facilitated diversified exposure to conventional assets like stocks, these crypto ETFs aim to do the same for digital asset investing.
21Shares, a prominent player in the crypto exchange-traded product market, was recently acquired by FalconX for an undisclosed sum. Despite the acquisition, 21Shares will continue to operate independently under the FalconX umbrella.
The Investment Company Act of 1940 serves as the regulatory backbone for US mutual funds and the majority of conventional ETFs. It mandates strict requirements regarding custody and investor protection. This is in contrast to the Securities Act of 1933, which is typically used for grantor trust structures holding physical commodities—the regulatory model predominantly applied to US spot crypto products thus far.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has already approved a crypto ETP under the '33 Act, namely the Rex-Osprey Doge ETF, which was launched in September. To date, the SEC has primarily approved spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) products under the '33 Act, rather than as fully regulated, investment-company ETFs under the '40 Act. Since the debut of spot Bitcoin funds in early 2024, demand for crypto ETFs has been robust. BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, for example, has accumulated approximately $70 billion in assets under management within its first 18 months on the market.
