Virtune introduced the initial cryptocurrency exchange-traded products to the Nasdaq Helsinki market in Finland. Finnish investors will now buy crypto assets using safer financial tools. Investors can now trade these products in euros through local financial institutions like Nordnet and other brokers.
Largest Crypto ETP Launch in the Nordics
This crypto ETP launch represents an all-time record for crypto investments in Northern Europe. Virtune released five euro-based products that provide direct access to major cryptocurrency trading markets. These new products include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Altcoins. Additionally, the launch introduces regulated staked ETPs. These ETPs allow Finnish investors to earn staking rewards. Staking rewards are included in the daily price, giving added benefits for investors holding these products.
Virtune’s new ETPs provide more investment choices for both beginners and experienced investors. The Bitcoin ETP offers direct exposure to Bitcoin, while the Staked Ethereum ETP enables staking returns. The Staked Solana ETP gives investors a 3% staking return. The Crypto Altcoin Index ETP tracks up to 10 alternative digital assets with monthly rebalancing. These options allow investors to diversify their portfolios while investing in crypto.
Opening the €20.5 Billion ETP Market to Crypto Investment
This launch marks the opening of Finland’s €20.5 billion ETP market to crypto investment. The crypto ETPs enable investors to trade cryptocurrencies through their regular brokerage accounts. This is the first time Finnish investors can access digital assets via traditional financial platforms.
Virtune’s CEO Christopher Kock expressed excitement about bringing regulated crypto ETPs to the Nordic market. He stated that the euro-denominated listings on Nasdaq Helsinki represent a major step for the company. Virtune aims to be the leading crypto asset manager in the Nordic region.
Virtune connects traditional financial markets with crypto assets through its newly launched products. Finnish investors gain legal access to invest in cryptocurrencies with secure trading methods. The initiative will likely generate interest from accredited investors and individual traders. These ETPs will help local investors spread their investments across different asset classes.
Expanding Nasdaq’s European Presence
Nasdaq’s European presence continues to grow. The introduction of Virtune’s crypto ETPs is a key step in this expansion. Helena Wedin of Nasdaq’s European Exchange-Traded Products division showed excitement for this collaboration. Nasdaq aims to grow its European presence beyond 23% of the market share. The collaboration with Virtune will help bring crypto investment opportunities to local investors in Finland.
