Key Features of the Cardano ETP by Liqwid Finance

Swiss crypto liquidity protocol Liqwid Finance has announced the listing of its Cardano (ADA) exchange-traded product (ETP) on Deutsche Börse’s XETRA. The new financial instrument, dubbed CASL ETP, will begin trading on May 22.

The product tracks the price of ADA and is designed to provide investors with both the price appreciation of the underlying asset and staking rewards. According to the litepaper of the ETP, the product will be 100% physically backed by Cardano assets, which will be stored in a cold wallet. Copper Technologies (Switzerland) AG will serve as the custodian of the product’s underlying asset.

Liqwid has also enlisted Flow Trades BV as an authorized participant for its ETP. The product will have a staking generation rate of 0.75% and will charge a management fee of 1.5%. The issuer of the ETP is Switzerland-based issuance.swiss AG.

The Cardano ETP is touted as offering investors an easy and convenient way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency, eliminating the need for investors to go through the hassle of setting up a compatible crypto wallet. The product is also said to be fully regulated.

Moreover, the ETP will reportedly be able to leverage the reliability of the Cardano network, which has not experienced any form of outage in the past five years. Notably, the product will trade under the ticker symbol (VXLCASL) on XETRA.

Liqwid’s Co-Founder Statement on CASL ETP

Florian Volery, the co-founder of Liqwid Labs, said that CASL ETP combines the best aspects of both traditional finance (TradFi) and digital ledger technology (DLT). The decentralized finance (DeFi) entrepreneur hyped the product as a “transformative leap” in setting a new standard for digital asset management.

In comparison to traditional assets, Volery said that CASL ETP is more accessible, cost-effective, secure, and effortless. At the same time, the product is said to be elevated from standard crypto ETPs by the redistribution of its staking generation rate.

The Liqwid Labs co-founder further highlighted that there is no lock-in period for CASL ETP, which ensures instantaneous liquidity at any point in time during the product’s trading periods.
