As regulated access to digital assets becomes a growing priority for European investors, 21Shares has expanded its product offering on Nasdaq Stockholm—reflecting both the firm’s ambitions and broader market shifts in the Nordics.
On June 16, 2025, 21Shares AG announced the listing of five new cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) on Nasdaq Stockholm. Already active on several European exchanges, the Zurich-based issuer continues to develop its Nordic presence as demand for structured, regulated access to crypto assets grows.
The new products now available on Nasdaq Stockholm include:
-
21Shares Uniswap ETP (AUNI)
-
21Shares Avalanche ETP (AVAX)
-
21Shares Bitcoin Gold ETP (BOLD)
-
21Shares Solana Core Staking ETP (CSOL)
-
21Shares Ethereum Core ETP (ETHC)
These listings join a range of existing 21Shares ETPs already trading on the exchange, including instruments linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Bitcoin Core—bringing the total number of products on Nasdaq Stockholm to ten.
“Our continued expansion in the Nordic region reflects the increasing demand from both retail and institutional investors for diversified and cost-effective crypto exposure,” noted Mandy Chiu, Head of Financial Product Development at 21Shares.
A sign of broader market consolidation
While these new listings represent an internal milestone for 21Shares, they also reflect a broader trend: the growing role of regulated crypto ETPs as a vehicle for digital asset exposure. The Nordic region—known for its openness to fintech innovation—is emerging as an important hub for such products.
From the perspective of local exchanges, this momentum is significant. Helena Wedin, Head of ETF & ETP for Nasdaq European Markets, emphasized that these products are part of a wider shift in how financial instruments are evolving:
“These newly listed ETPs reflect the kind of innovation that is shaping the future of financial markets.”
Regulated structure, expanding use cases
All ETPs in the 21Shares product line are physically backed—meaning they are fully collateralized by the corresponding crypto assets—and traded on regulated exchanges. This format continues to gain traction among both institutional and individual investors looking for indirect exposure to crypto without handling custody or wallets.
The range of assets included in the latest listings also suggests a broader use-case orientation. Beyond large-cap tokens like Ethereum, new products such as Solana Core Staking or Uniswap indicate interest in more function-specific protocols, such as staking, smart contracts, and decentralized exchanges.
With annual fees ranging between 0.21% and 2.50%, these ETPs aim to offer access at a lower cost compared to actively managed alternatives, although the fee spectrum varies significantly depending on asset and structure.
Nordic Listings in a European Context
This move also fits into a larger European strategy for 21Shares, which has listings across Euronext Paris, Euronext Amsterdam, the London Stock Exchange, and the SIX Swiss Exchange. While Sweden provides an access point to Nordic investors, the company’s multi-jurisdictional footprint suggests a deliberate effort to align with local regulatory frameworks and investor preferences.
The expansion comes at a time when Europe is finalizing the rollout of MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), which is expected to set harmonized standards for crypto instruments and service providers across EU member states. Listings on regulated exchanges like Nasdaq Stockholm help issuers position themselves ahead of these upcoming regulatory changes.
Between infrastructure and adoption
For market observers, these developments point to a quiet but steady maturation of Europe’s crypto infrastructure. Crypto ETPs now form a growing part of portfolio allocation discussions, especially among institutional players looking for compliant exposure channels.
Still, challenges remain: liquidity, volatility, fee structure, and product education are all variables that continue to shape how (and whether) crypto products are adopted within more traditional investment frameworks.
With these five additional ETP listings on Nasdaq Stockholm, 21Shares consolidates its position in the Nordic region while highlighting the continued integration of digital assets into regulated European financial markets.
