Fineqia Offers Institutional-Grade Investment Opportunities in Blockchain-based Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

Launched by Fineqia's European subsidiary, Fineqia AG, YADA is the world's inaugural ETN that uses crypto assets on decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols to yield returns.

Fineqia, a firm offering institutional-grade investment opportunities in blockchain-based Decentralized Finance (DeFi), has announced the listing of its crypto asset-backed Exchange Traded Note (ETN) on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange.

The ETN, named Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN and trading under the ticker YADA, is issued by Fineqia’s European subsidiary. Its UK unit advises on Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) in Europe, including the Digital Asset Blockchain Infrastructure (DABI)., in which Fineqia has a minority stake, announced an investment from AnChain.

Launched by Fineqia AG in January 2025, YADA is the world’s first ETN to use crypto assets on decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols to yield returns. The ETN’s cross-listing on the Stock Exchange marks a significant step in expanding access to YADA for a wider European audience.

This initiative also showcases Fineqia’s commitment to connecting traditional finance with blockchain-based investment prospects, providing investors with a convenient and regulated gateway to invest in Cardano’s native token, ADA.

According to ETFBook, ETPs at the Stuttgart Stock Exchange saw trading volumes of over USD 2.2 billion in the past year. Among European exchanges, Stuttgart ranked fifth in terms of digital asset ETP trading volume over the past twelve months, highlighting its role in the fast-growing segment of institutional-grade digital asset investment vehicles. ETPs from firms such as 21Shares, BitWise, CoinShares, VanEck, WisdomTree, and others are available on the exchange.

YADA’s launch on the Vienna Stock Exchange was announced in December 2024, and the Exchange Traded Note is benchmarked to the FTSE Russell index.
