Growing interest in cryptocurrency ETPs: Global interest in cryptocurrency has led to a surge in exchange-traded products (ETPs). Europe, in particular, has emerged as a leader, creating a well-regulated ETP market that began with the launch of the first Bitcoin ETP in 2015.
Impact of MiCA regulation on the market: The upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation in 2025 promises a unified regulatory framework across the EU. This will enhance investor protections, promote institutional involvement, and solidify Europe’s pioneering role in the cryptocurrency space.
Significant metrics in the crypto ETP market: Currently, around 221 ETPs are listed in Europe, with over 19.86 billion USD in assets under management (AUM). Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate, accounting for approximately 65%, while altcoin-focused products like Solana are gaining traction, reflecting a dynamic investment landscape.
