21Shares Surpasses $5 Billion in AUM
Last month, 21Shares revealed that it has surpassed $5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) amid market rebound.
21Shares has experienced rapid growth over the past couple of years.
Just earlier this year, the company joined Ark Invest to refile an application for a spot market Ethereum ETF.
Likewise, Ark Invest and 21Shares have announced a collaboration to enhance transparency for their ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) by integrating Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve platform to verify holdings data.
21Shares’s diverse range of ETPs allow investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies through traditional investment vehicles without the need to directly buy, store, or manage the cryptocurrencies themselves.
Various stock exchanges have listed 21Shares ETPs, making them accessible to investors who have accounts with traditional brokers that have access to these exchanges.
The ETPs are backed by the underlying cryptocurrencies, which are held in secure custody.
