Van Eck listar guldgrävar-ETFer i Schweiz från och med i dag. Den 10 juni 2015 listade kapitalförvaltningsföretaget Van Eck två av sina börshandlade fonder i Schweiz, nämligen Market Vectors Gold Miners UCITSETF (SIX: GDX) och Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners UCITSETF (SIX: GDXJ). De två börshandlade fonderna kommer att vara korslistade, nominerade i USD och handlas schweizerfranc.
I april 2015 togs dessa två ETFer upp till handel på Londonbörsen (LSE), och i maj 2015 listades de på tyska Deutsche Börse XETRA. Kort därefter, i början av juni 2015 listades de också på BATS CHI-X Europe. Båda dessa börshandlade fonder kommer att följa samma investeringsstrategier som sina amerikanska motsvarigheter. I USA är GDX och GDXJ de två största börshandlade fonderna som replikerar utvecklingen av guldproducerande företags aktier. På mycket kort tid, endast två månader efter det att Van Eck listade Market Vectors Gold Miners UCITSETF i London är detta den tredje största guldgrävar-ETFen i Europa.
Orsaken till att Vacn Eck väljer att lista sina börshandlade fonder i Europa är att mer än 30 procent av det capital som placeras i företagets guldgrävar-ETFer kommer från Europa. Genom att lista dessa börshandlade fonder i Europa, där en stor del av kunderna finns gör Van Eck dessa tillgängliga för marknaden på ett annat sätt. Det gör det till exempel möjligt för de europeiska placerarna att handla dessa ETFer när de europeiska marknaderna är öppna.
Market Vectors Gold Miners UCITSETF replikerar utvecklingen av NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (GDMNTR) och ger investerarna en möjlighet att få tillgång till kursutvecklingen för en global portfölj av aktier i large cap, mid cap och small cap segmentet. Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners UCITSETF replikerar utvecklingen av Market Vectors Global Junior Gold Miners Index (MVGDXJTR), ett index som replikerar utvecklingen av ett brett spektra av företag i micro-, small- och mid cap segmenten, ofta kallade junior mining companies.

2024 was a landmark year for bitcoin, solidifying its role as a fully institutionalised asset class.
Institutional inflows into physical bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) reached nearly $35 billion globally, signalling a major shift in how traditional investors view crypto. As bitcoin continued to enhance portfolios’ risk-return profiles, more institutional investors followed suit, reshaping the financial landscape.
Looking ahead, 2025 promises to bring exciting developments across the crypto ecosystem. Here are the top five crypto trends to watch.
Fear of being left behind
The era of bitcoin as a niche investment is over. Institutional adoption is creating a ripple effect, forcing hesitant players to reconsider. Portfolios with bitcoin allocations are consistently outperforming those without, highlighting its growing importance.

Historical performance is not an indication of future performance and any investment may go down in value.
With bitcoin’s ability to noticeably improve portfolios’ risk-return profiles, asset managers face a clear choice: integrate bitcoin into multi-asset portfolios or risk falling behind in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. In 2025, expect the competition to heat up as clients demand exposure to this powerhouse cryptocurrency.
Expanding crypto investment options
In 2024, regulatory breakthroughs opened the doors for physical bitcoin and ether ETPs in key developed markets. This marked a critical step towards making cryptocurrencies mainstream, providing seamless access to institutional and retail investors alike.

In 2025, this momentum is expected to accelerate as the crypto regulatory environment becomes more friendly in the United States and as key developed markets follow Europe’s lead and approve ETPs for altcoins such as Solana and XRP. With their clear utility and growing adoption, these altcoins are strong candidates for institutional investment vehicles.
This next wave of altcoin ETPs will expand the diversity of crypto investment opportunities and further integrate cryptocurrencies into the global financial system.
The maturing of Ethereum’s layer-2 ecosystem
Ethereum’s role as the backbone of decentralised finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Web3 is unmatched, but its scalability challenges remain a hurdle. Layer-2 solutions—technologies such as Arbitrum and Optimism—are transforming Ethereum’s scalability and usability by enabling faster, cheaper transactions.
In 2025, Ethereum’s recent upgrades, such as Proto-Danksharding (introduced in the ‘Dencun’ upgrade), will drive layer-2 adoption even further. Innovations like Visa’s layer-2 payment platform leveraging Ethereum for instant cross-border transactions will underscore the platform’s evolution.
Expect Ethereum’s layer-2 ecosystem to power real-world use cases ranging from tokenized assets to decentralised gaming, positioning it as the infrastructure of a truly scalable digital economy.
Stablecoins: bridging finance and blockchain
Stablecoins are becoming indispensable to the global financial system, offering the stability of traditional assets with the efficiency of blockchain. Platforms such as Ethereum dominate the stablecoin landscape, hosting stablecoin giants Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), which facilitate billions in daily transactions.

As we move into 2025, stablecoins will increasingly interact with blockchain ecosystems such as Solana and XRP. Solana’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure makes it ideal for stablecoin payments and remittances, while XRP Ledger’s focus on cross-border efficiency positions it as a leader in global settlements. With institutional adoption rising and DeFi applications booming, stablecoins will serve as the backbone of a seamless, interconnected financial ecosystem.
Tokenization: redefining ownership and revolutionising finance
Tokenization is set to redefine how we think about ownership and value. By converting tangible assets like real estate, commodities, stocks, and art into digital tokens, tokenization breaks down barriers to entry and creates unprecedented liquidity.
In 2025, tokenization will expand dramatically, empowering investors to own fractions of high-value assets. Platforms such as Paxos Gold and AspenCoin are already showcasing how tokenization can revolutionize markets for gold and luxury real estate. The integration of tokenized assets into DeFi will unlock new financial opportunities, such as using tokenized real estate as collateral for loans. As tokenization matures, it will transform industries ranging from private equity to venture capital, creating a more inclusive and efficient financial system.
For the avoidance of any doubt, tokenization complements crypto by expanding the use cases of blockchain to include real-world applications.
Looking ahead
2025 is set to be a defining year for crypto, as innovation, regulation, and adoption converge. Whether it is bitcoin cementing its position as a portfolio staple, Ethereum scaling for mainstream use, or tokenization unlocking liquidity in untapped markets, the crypto ecosystem is poised for explosive growth. For investors and institutions alike, the opportunities have never been clearer or more compelling.
