Trading turnover in crypto products at SIX shows strong growth. In the first five months of 2021, already CHF 4.5 bn have been traded – more than during any whole year since crypto products were first admitted for trading at SIX in 2016 and +289% compared to the previous year. Year-to-date, there have been 146’731 trades in crypto products executed at SIX (+206% compared to the previous year). These numbers underline the strong position of SIX as the world’s leading regulated market place for products with crypto currencies as underlying.
With the new Iconic Funds Physical Bitcoin ETP – available in two trading currencies –, investors now have a selection of 32 Bitcoin ETPs and structured products at SIX to choose from, while the number of ETP issuers rises to nine, following the recent arrival of ETC Group as well as CoinShares and SEBA Bank in the first four months of 2021.
Iconic Funds GmbH is a joint-venture of Iconic Holding GmbH and publicly-listed Cryptology Asset Group Ltd. Launched in 2019, Iconic Funds’ mission is to drive the adoption of crypto assets. As the bridge for investors to gain exposure to crypto assets, Iconic’s licensed and regulated vehicles offer investors a menu of investment choices ranging from passive index exposure to actively-managed strategies. The Iconic Funds Physical Bitcoin ETP (XBTI) tracks the price of Bitcoin (BTC). The ETP is 100% physically backed by BTC and stored in cold storages of regulated crypto custodians with an additional third party insurance.
