Crypto World News reports that Duncan Moir, President of 21Shares, stated that as the crypto market transitions from simple price-tracking funds to maturity, actively managed exchange-traded products will become the next phase of crypto investment. Morningstar and Goldman Sachs Asset Management compiled data showing that by the end of 2025, the global assets in actively managed ETFs will approach $1.8 trillion. Duncan Moir pointed out that crypto, as an emerging and growing asset class, is particularly suitable for active management; 21Shares combines bottom-up research on individual assets with quantitative and autonomous top-down strategy management of risk and allocation, and has expanded its investment portfolio management and trading teams. He added that after FalconX acquired 21Shares in October, the integration is expected to accelerate product development, especially in more complex product directions. Moir noted that the demand for crypto ETPs and ETFs varies across regions; in Europe, where the investor base is more mature, institutions holding Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeking to further increase their crypto allocations. In this context, 21Shares recently launched a trading product in Europe linked to the Strategy preferred stock STRC, offering high-yield exposure related to the company’s Bitcoin capital strategy, and reported strong early demand in multiple regions. The article mentions that as the crypto ETP and ETF markets develop, issuers are launching more complex structures, with staking becoming a growth area; Grayscale introduced staking in its ETPs in October, and BlackRock launched a Nasdaq-listed Ethereum product with staking in March, which recorded $15.5 million in trading volume on its first day. Moir stated that 21Shares evaluates new products based on internal research, customer demand, and market trends, citing their Bitcoin and gold ETPs as examples; these products have been running for four years and recently cross-listed in London.
