📦 What 21Shares Just Launched
The two ETFs are built to capture the core of the crypto market through a regulated, index-based lens:
- TTOP — tracks the FTSE Crypto 10 Index, offering a portfolio of leading digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin.
- TXBC — tracks the same FTSE Crypto 10 Index, but excludes Bitcoin, aimed at investors who want diversified exposure to the broader crypto market without BTC.
Both ETFs target investors who want multi-asset crypto exposure but prefer to stay within a regulated, exchange-traded format instead of holding tokens directly.
⚙️ How TTOP and TXBC Work
The new funds use a rules-based, index-driven framework that mirrors familiar equity index products:
- 📜 They follow the FTSE Crypto 10 Index, capturing top-performing digital assets by market capitalization.
- ♻️ Portfolios are rebalanced quarterly to reflect market cap shifts and evolving market structure.
- 🧩 Investors get exposure through ETF shares — no need to manage wallets or private keys.
This structure combines regulatory compliance with systematic market participation, matching the growing appetite from both institutional and retail investors for predictable and transparent crypto access.
📈 Why Index-Based Crypto Exposure Matters
Index strategies are already proven in traditional markets — from the S&P 500 to the Nasdaq-100. 21Shares is now applying that same logic to digital assets.
Federico Brocate, Head of Global Business Development at 21Shares, explains:
“Index products have proven effective in providing diversified exposure in traditional markets, from the S&P 500 to the Nasdaq-100. The same principle applies to cryptocurrency investing. Many clients requested a simple, regulated way to access the broader market rather than selecting individual tokens. With TTOP and TXBC, we offer a familiar, diversified approach to digital assets that adapts as the market evolves.”
In other words: instead of guessing which token wins, investors can plug into a rules-based basket that updates as the crypto market shifts.
📏 FTSE Russell, Teucrium, and FalconX: The Infrastructure Behind the ETFs
The products are built on top of FTSE Russell’s index expertise and Teucrium’s ETF infrastructure:
- FTSE Russell provides the FTSE Crypto 10 Index, the rules-based benchmark powering both ETFs.
Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, commented:
“At FTSE Russell, we aim to provide reliable, rules-based indices that help investors navigate emerging asset classes with confidence.”
- Teucrium, an ETF advisor focused on alternative markets, supports white-label advisory, product development, and distribution.
These launches also complement 21Shares’ recent collaboration with FalconX, which extends capabilities in:
- 📈 brokerage and liquidity
- 💼 investment management
- 💸 lending
- 📐 structured products
Together, these partnerships reinforce 21Shares’ push toward global expansion and institutional-grade crypto solutions.
🎯 What Investors Get From TTOP and TXBC
These rule-based ETFs provide investors with:
- 🛡️ Regulated, diversified crypto exposure without managing wallets or keys
- ♻️ Quarterly rebalancing that aligns holdings with changes in market capitalization
- 📊 Simplified portfolio integration, acting as a clean entry point for crypto diversification
- ⚖️ Potential risk management benefits, since systematic index exposure reduces the need for active token picking
By packaging digital assets into a familiar ETF format, 21Shares lowers operational complexity and security risks that come with direct token custody.
