21sharesThe Vienna Stock Exchange, Wiener Börse, has admitted a Bitcoin Product on its official “regulated” market segment, thus becoming the 3rd exchange venue globally to do so. European startup 21Shares stated that starting effectively from the 1st of September 2020, its Bitcoin ETP and Ethereum ETP shares can be traded on the official market of the Vienna Stock Exchange.

“We are happy to share that Bitcoin is now accessible everywhere for both retail as well as institutional investors across the entire DACH region.” Hany Rashwan, CEO at 21Shares AG, commented. “We started with the Swiss market due to our home roots and having a crypto-friendly landscape. In July 2020, we entered the German market by listing ABTC on Deutsche Boerse XETRA. This listing in Austria now gives all German-speaking countries easy exposure to this asset class. Outside the DACH region, no other jurisdiction globally provides such comprehensive and ample access to Bitcoin.”

Three major exchanges in each of the three DACH countries have now admitted a Bitcoin ETP. 21Shares stated that this demonstrates institutional and regulatory acceptance of this emerging digital asset class.

“With this important listing, the Vienna Stock Exchange is expanding its selection of asset classes. Experienced, local investors can now benefit from the stock market advantages in crypto trading: Monitored, regulated and transparent trading with real-time information and secure settlement via their regular brokers account,” said Thomas Rainer, Head of Business Development at Wiener Börse.
