European digital asset manager CoinShares is expanding the reach of its physically backed exchange-traded product (ETP) portfolio with a new listing in Germany.<\/p>\n

According to an announcement<\/a> on Monday, CoinShares Physical Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>), Ether (ETH<\/a>) and Litecoin (LTC<\/a>) ETPs have cross-listed on major German exchange Deutsche Boerse Xetra.<\/p>\n

The digital asset manager started the year by launching a Bitcoin ETP named CoinShares Physical Bitcoin<\/a> (BITC) in January. Listed on Switzerland\u2019s SIX Swiss Exchange, each ETP is physically backed by 0.001 Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Since then, the CoinShares Physical platform has launched Ether and Litecoin ETPs. CoinShares Physical Ether<\/a> (ETHE) was backed with 0.03 ETH at launch, while CoinShares Physical Litecoin<\/a> (LITE) was backed with 0.2 LTC.<\/p>\n

CoinShares chief revenue officer Frank Spiteri said that the CoinShares Physical platform now has over $380 million in assets under management and operates in 11 countries. <\/p>\n

The listing of CoinShares Physical Bitcoin, Ether and Litecoin ETPs on Boerse Xetra follows approval from regulators to distribute the ETPs across the European Union, the announcement reads. <\/p>\n

CoinShares\u2019 passporting to Germany enabled CoinShares Physical ETPs\u2019 entrance into Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, France, Denmark, Finland and Norway.<\/p>\n

\u201cFocussing on market demand, we launched earlier this year, our institutional platform CoinShares Physical first in Switzerland and now in Europe,\u201d CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti said. The Boerse Xetra listing offers European institutional investors an entry point into digital assets with the credibility of CoinShares, he added.<\/p>\n

Deutsche Boerse Xetra is no stranger to cryptocurrency ETPs. Last year, London-based ETC Group announced the listing of its Bitcoin Exchange Traded Crypto<\/a> (BTCE) on the exchange. It was also one of two European exchanges along with SIX to list New York-based asset manager WisdomTree\u2019s physically backed Ether ETP<\/a>. <\/p>\n
