- 21Shares launched first U.S. crypto index ETFs under the 1940 Act, offering diversified exposure to top 10 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum . - The TTOP and TXBC ETFs charge 0.5%-0.65% fees, rebalance quarterly, and exclude Bitcoin in TXBC to focus on smaller altcoins. - These ETFs leverage stricter 1940 Act standards over the 1933 Act, attracting institutional investors amid growing regulatory clarity for crypto products. - The launch signals maturing crypto markets, with 21Shares partner

21Shares, a prominent provider of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), has

introduced the first U.S. crypto index ETFs

registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("40 Act"), representing a notable regulatory breakthrough for digital assets. The

21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 Index ETF

(TTOP) and the

21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 ex-BTC Index ETF

(TXBC) provide investors with broad exposure to the top 10 cryptocurrencies, such as

Bitcoin

Ethereum

Solana

, and

Dogecoin

, all while complying with the same regulatory standards as conventional ETFs.

These new ETFs,

launched in collaboration with FalconX

, are designed to address the increasing demand for regulated crypto investment options, especially among institutional and individual investors seeking straightforward, flexible access.

TTOP

tracks a wide selection of leading cryptocurrencies,

adjusting its holdings every quarter to stay current with the market

, while

TXBC

omits Bitcoin to concentrate on smaller alternative coins.

The two funds

have expense ratios of 0.5% and 0.65%

, respectively, making them a more affordable choice compared to single-asset ETFs.

"For the first time, investors can access a diversified crypto fund under the '40 Act structure, which is considered the benchmark for institutional investors," stated Duncan Moir, president of 21Shares.

He pointed out that multi-asset ETFs could be more attractive

to financial advisers than the single-asset products that were popular with retail investors earlier in 2024. This move by the company reflects a broader industry shift from spot Bitcoin ETFs to index-based solutions, though Moir

expects adoption to be slower due to the added complexity

This launch coincides with a period of increasing regulatory clarity for crypto investments,

evidenced by the recent green light

for the first XRP spot ETF from Canary Capital. Still,

21Shares' products are unique as the first

to utilize the '40 Act structure, which enforces stricter rules for custody and taxation than the 1933 Act, often used for higher-risk crypto funds. This could make them more appealing to institutions concerned about regulatory risks.

The market has responded with cautious optimism. While single-asset Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's IBIT have attracted significant inflows, multi-asset crypto ETFs face hurdles in a turbulent market.

21Shares' quarterly rebalancing mechanism

helps portfolios adjust to market dynamics automatically, reducing the need for frequent manual changes. The company's

partnership with Teucrium Trading

, known for its experience with commodity-based '40 Act funds, further highlights its commitment to regulatory standards.

As the crypto ETF sector develops, 21Shares' move into index-based offerings reflects a maturing industry. The firm's expertise in navigating regulatory requirements while providing innovative investment options could set a benchmark for future products, especially as competition heats up among asset managers seeking a share of the $140 billion U.S. crypto ETF market.
