Both new and fully backed ETPs provide institutional and private investors with stable, regulated access to Bitcoin and Ethereum, marking DWS Xtrackers’s latest expansion in the digital asset space. The launch reflects growing demand for crypto exposure, supporting investors seeking direct investment in demanded cryptocurrencies.
Since the beginning of the year, the 170 ETPs on cryptocurrencies listed at SIX Swiss Exchange have recorded a trading turnover of CHF 1.8bn and close to 145’000 trades. Among the total 376 ETPs and derivatives with cryptocurrency underlyings, in terms of trading volume share, Bitcoin dominated demand with 45.2%, followed by Ethereum with 15.0%, and Solana with 11.5%.
