Let’s get digital
This week’s newsletter brings an interview with Hany Rashwan, co-founder and CEO, and managing director, Laurent Kssis, of Swiss-based 21Shares, detailing the firm’s transition through its name change from Amun to the growth of its crypto product range to 25 products, with a new GBP listing added for its Bitcoin ETP. The company is striving to bring institutional quality to crypto products, offering both an income producing product and a route to shorting Bitcoin.
We also spent some time with TrackInsight this week, data providers and analysts in the ETF sector. The firm announced its deal with Nasdaq to be its exclusive North American distributor and also published the first of what will be an annual survey of ETF investors which revealed that investors believe liquidity is king.
The Stock Ticker is the beating heart of US finance – why haven’t we got one, asks the team at DXC Technology in their comment piece this week – ETFs come in second in the list of assets that a consolidated tape could be important for, the team argues.
Please do sign up for our etfLIVE North America digital event in October – we are working on the agenda now but, in the meantime, you can register your interest here…
