Today, SIX welcomes DWS Xtrackers as its newest issuer of exchange-traded products (ETPs) based on cryptocurrencies.
DWS Xtrackers has a total of 2 new products listed for Bitcoin and Ethereum. With this launch, DWS Xtrackers becomes the 17th crypto ETP issuer on SIX, bringing the total number of listed crypto products to 376.
Both new fully backed ETPs provide stable, regulated access to Bitcoin and Ethereum for institutional and retail investors and represent DWS Xtrackers’ latest expansion in the digital asset space. This launch reflects the growing demand for crypto exposure and supports investors seeking direct investment in high-demand cryptocurrencies.
Since the beginning of the year, the 170 crypto ETPs listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange have recorded a trading volume of CHF 1.8 billion and nearly 145,000 trades. Out of a total of 376 ETPs and derivatives based on virtual currencies, Bitcoin dominated demand at 45.2% in terms of trading volume share, followed by Ethereum at 15.0% and Solana at 11.5%.
The introduction of two new products reflects this trend, offering investors exposure to Ethereum and Bitcoin backed by their respective underlying cryptocurrencies.
