Four game-changing ETPs just released! Introducing 21Shares newest products focused on oracles (PYTH), tokenization (ONDO), decentralized computing (RNDR), and artificial intelligence (NEAR). Find out more about each product and either of the links below.

With 21Shares having surpassed $10 billion in assets under management globally, we’re proud to lead in the crypto space. Now, we’re in an era where blockchain is transforming industries on an unprecedented scale, unlocking opportunities far beyond what we’ve seen before.

Oracles connect blockchains to real-world data for transparent and reliable smart contract execution. Tokenization is revolutionizing traditional finance by cutting down costs, improving settlement time and bringing real-world assets on-chain, enhancing accessibility, efficiency, and liquidity. Decentralized Infrastructure (DePIN) harnesses blockchains to build cost-efficient networks for broadband, computing, mapping and more. Meanwhile, blockchain is playing a critical role in the AI revolution, ensuring data security, transparency, and integrity in an increasingly digital economy.
21Shares committed to staying ahead of these trends by aligning our product suite with the evolving market landscape. For this reason, 21Shares are launching four new ETPs within these sectors:

• 21Shares Pyth Network ETP (PYTH): Gain access to an oracle platform delivering real-time market data to isolated blockchains and backed by leading institutional partners.

• 21Shares Ondo ETP (ONDO): Invest in a platform for tokenized securities with instant settlement and flexible yields, lowering capital barriers for wider accessibility.

• 21Shares Render ETP (RNDR): Access a platform transforming dormant hardware into affordable and decentralized “Computing-as-a-Service” for rendering, AI, and more.

• 21Shares NEAR Protocol Staking ETP (NEAR): Access a fast, scalable and user-friendly blockchain optimized for AI-driven applications.

Explore now how these products fit into the evolving market and how they can help position your portfolio for success.

Spotlight Stock Market har godkänt Valour Dogecoin (DOGE) för handel. Utgivare av instrumenten är Valour Inc och första dag för handel med trackercertifikat för DOGE är i dag, den 26 november, 2024. Detta är den första noteringen i Norden av ett instrument baserat på den omtalade kryptovalutan DOGE, som för närvarande är världens sjunde största digitala tillgång.

”Vi är väldigt stolta över hur snabbt vårt ETP-segment har utvecklats och att vi tillsammans med Valour fortsätter att bryta ny mark. DOGE har genom Elon Musks intresse för tillgången blivit en rejäl snackis som spridit sig långt utanför den vanliga kryptosfären, så jag är jätteglad över att Spotlight blir den första börsen i Norden som kan erbjuda detta instrument med all extra säkerhet som handel över en marknadsplats innebär”, säger Spotlight Stock Markets VD Anders Kumlin.

ETP-segmentet på Spotlight Stock Market lanserades den 10 juni i år och nu finns totalt 25 instrument i segmentet, samtliga med Valour som emittent. DOGE hör till de äldsta kryptovalutorna på marknaden och skapades 2013 som ett lättsamt alternativ till Bitcoin, med hunden från ”doge”-memet som sin logotyp. I dag värderas DOGE som helhet till över 60 miljarder dollar, vilket gör den till den sjunde största digitala tillgången i världen.

”Efterfrågan på DOGE har ökat kraftigt efter presidentvalet i USA, där Elon Musk spelade en stor roll och ofta framhåller DOGE som tillgång. Därför är det en väldigt bra tidpunkt att lansera Dogecoin på den nordiska marknaden. Vi fortsätter att hålla ett högt tempo i våra lanseringar på Spotlight och siktar på att dubbla antalet instrument som vi tar upp till handel”, säger Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics på Valour Inc.
