Virtune introduces the first crypto index Exchange Traded Product (“ETP”) on Nasdaq Stockholm on Monday 15th of May, Virtune Crypto Top 10 Index ETP (VIR10)
Stockholm, 11 May 2023 Virtune, the first regulated digital asset manager in Sweden to launch crypto ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm, the largest stock exchange in the Nordic region, has announced the introduction of the innovative crypto basket index ETP. The ETP will be listed on Monday 15th of May and offers exposure to up to 10 leading cryptocurrencies in one single product, pioneering the crypto offer in the Nordic market. Virtune is a registered financial institution by the Swedish FSA and withholds an approved EU Base Prospectus for issuing crypto ETPs in Europe.
The ETP which is 100% physically backed by cryptocurrencies and fully collateralized will be available in SEK for the Swedish investors and in EUR for the rest of the Nordic investors. The unique product holds 2 ISINs to cater according to each currency, SEK (SE0020052207) for Swedish investors and EUR (SE0020052215) corresponding to Euro investors. The ETP has an allocation of cryptocurrencies with a maximum weight of 40% per cryptocurrency to promote diversification, providing a balanced and diversified investment alternative. Further, only cryptocurrencies that are approved by Nasdaq are eligible in the ETP which adds an extra layer of qualification for each cryptocurrency.
This product caters to institutional investors and experienced crypto enthusiasts while also serving as an excellent entry-level product for those new to crypto investments. The product will be available on http://www.avanza.se/ and http://www.nordnet.se/, the largest saving platforms in the Nordics.
This groundbreaking product fills a void in the Nordic market, allowing investors to consolidate their crypto investments into a single product traded on the regulated Nasdaq Stockholm exchange. The ETP can be held in an ISK (Investeringssparkonto), capital insurance and custody account.
Furthermore, the ETP features monthly rebalancing, ensuring it remains up to date and aligned with current market conditions. With a diversified portfolio, investors can mitigate risks associated with investing solely in a single cryptocurrency. As the crypto market continues to grow beyond Bitcoin, a top 10 portfolio provides exposure to 85% of the market, capturing its full potential.

- Exposure to 85% of the crypto market in one single product
