Europe's crypto investment scene just got a massive shake-up—and 21Shares is leading the charge!

The major exchange-traded product (ETP) provider has just listed Bitcoin (CBTC), Solana (ASOL), and XRP (AXRP) ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm, giving Nordic investors a new gateway into the crypto market.

This move expands 21Shares's European footprint, following its successful launch of ETPs on the Swiss stock exchange in 2018.

Why Now, Why These ETPs, and Why Europe?

For those unfamiliar, 21Shares is a leading force in crypto ETPs, managing over $7.5 billion in assets and boasting listings on 11 major exchanges.

Their latest initiative brings Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP ETPs to Nasdaq Stockholm, offering European investors a convenient and cost-effective way to invest in these digital assets.

Each ETP is physically backed by its respective cryptocurrency, ensuring a direct link to the asset's performance and lower fees compared to traditional investment funds.

The Solana (ASOL) ETP also offers a unique advantage—staking yields! Unlike typical investment vehicles, this allows investors to earn passive income by holding their stake in the product.

For Bitcoin (CBTC) and XRP (AXRP), the appeal lies in lower fees, regulatory security, and direct exposure to two of the biggest names in crypto.

While the U.S. is still tangled in regulatory uncertainty, Europe is forging ahead with MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets), a clear and comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto.

This has created a perfect environment for institutional adoption, with companies like 21Shares quickly expanding their offerings to meet the demand.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., major traditional finance players like Fidelity and Charles Schwab are shifting money into traditional ETFs. However, crypto investment options remain limited due to regulatory roadblocks.

This contrast highlights a major trend: Europe is embracing crypto, setting the standard for the future of ETPs, while the U.S. is still figuring it out.

What This Means for Investors

With 21Shares making bold moves into the Nordic region, one thing is clear: the appetite for regulated, accessible crypto investments is stronger than ever.

For European investors, this brings:

✅ A safer, more transparent way to invest in Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP

✅ Lower fees and direct asset backing

✅ A growing ecosystem of institutional crypto products

For U.S. investors, the wait continues, but one thing is certain: Europe is setting the standard for the future of crypto ETPs.

Final Thoughts: A Massive Step for Crypto in Europe

With Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP ETPs now live on Nasdaq Stockholm, 21Shares has sent a clear message—crypto isn't just for retail investors anymore.

Institutions are coming, regulations are strengthening, and Europe is leading the charge.

The only question now? Will the U.S. catch up before it's too late?

As Europe's major ETP provider, 21Shares has become a household name in the crypto industry. The company manages over $7.5 billion in assets and has 11 major stock exchange listings to its name.

Its ETPs are now available for trading on Nasdaq Stockholm, expanding the company's European footprint.

Earlier this year, 21Shares launched its ETPs on the Swiss stock exchange.

"We are delighted to be expanding our ETP offering to Nordic investors through our partnership with Nasdaq Stockholm," said Guillaume Barreau, co-founder and CEO of 21Shares.

"We believe that ETPs provide an ideal way for investors to gain exposure to crypto assets in a regulated and transparent manner. Our ETPs are also physically backed by their respective crypto assets, which ensures that investors have a direct link to the asset's performance and lower fees compared to traditional investment funds."

The company's Bitcoin (CBTC), Solana (ASOL), and XRP (AXRP) ETPs are now available to trade on Nasdaq Stockholm.

The Solana (ASOL) ETP also offers investors the opportunity to earn staking yields. This is in contrast to traditional investment vehicles, where investors typically only earn interest on their investments.

"We are committed to providing investors with innovative and high-quality ETP products that meet their investment needs," added Barreau.

"We are also constantly expanding our ETP range to include new crypto assets and investment strategies."

The company's ETPs are covered by the Swedish Depository Receipts (DR) program, which provides a framework for the issuance and listing of foreign securities on Nasdaq Stockholm.

"We are pleased to welcome 21Shares to Nasdaq Stockholm," said Fredrik Eklund, head of listing
