- Eqonex ( NASDAQ: EQOS ) has launched its first cryptocurrency-linked exchange-traded product. Shares are rising 4.5% in Monday morning trading.
- Specifically, the company introduced its Investment Products business with the listing of a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Note ("ETN") on the Deutsche Börse XETRA Exchange.
- That move will be followed by a "pipeline of Crypto investment and structured products earmarked for launch in the second half of 2022," Eqonex ( EQOS ) said.
- Note that the Bitcoin ETN provides investors based in Germany with direct exposure to bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) through an exchange-traded, physically-backed product. Moreover, investors can buy and sell the ETN through their existing brokerage accounts and will be able to redeem the underlying bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) for free using a custody account of Digivault, the company's Financial Conduct Authority registered custody provider.
- Going forward, "we see the German market as fertile ground for what is likely to be a growing suite of EQONEX exchange-traded products," said Eqonex CEO Jonathan Farnell.
- In May, Eqonex completed its first Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT over-the-counter trade .
