New exchange-traded products that track the value of XRP and Litecoin are now available for trading on the Boerse Stuttgart-owned Swedish exchange Nordic Growth Market.
Boerse Stuttgart is Germany's second-largest stock exchange, reporting trading volumes of 71.2 billion euros in 2018.
Its wholly-owned subsidiary, NGM, is an authorized exchange with operations across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
The newly-listed products are available for European investors and are issued by XBT Provider, a CoinShares company that is domiciled in Sweden and has previously brought Bitcoin and Ethereum tracking products to the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
As with XBT's earlier products, the tracking certificate for each of the new ETPs represents "a set amount of the underlying asset and tracks a composite index of each asset. When a certificate is purchased on exchange it is then hedged with the corresponding underlying asset 1:1.".
The press release outlines that with the new listings, any eligible EU investor "Whose brokerage or electronic trading platform has access to the NGM exchange can add passive LTC or XRP exposures to their brokerage, trading or, in some cases, tax advantaged accounts such as an ISK or SIPP account."
Ryan Radloff, CEO of XBT Provider's parent company CoinShares has said the new products represent a breakthrough given that "LTC and XRP now, effectively, have an ISIN number."
He also noted that investors otherwise wary of unregulated exchanges can now trade digital assets products via a traditional brokerage system.
Today's press release further stated that XBT Provider's Prospectus is approved by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and the new Certificates are governed by Swedish law, but notes that XBT Provider is not a licensed financial advisor.
As recently reported, Switzerland's principal stock exchange, SIX listed an XRP-based ETP on April 2, issued by crypto derivative development firm Amun.
