Since then it has been listed on multiple European exchanges, and is currently the world\u2019s most heavily traded crypto ETP, with the narrowest spreads<sup>1<\/sup>. The new futures contract will be traded in Euros and physically delivered in BTCE, which is 100% backed by bitcoin and can be readily redeemed by any investor for the underlying bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bradley Duke, CEO of ETC Group<\/strong>&nbsp;said: \u201cThe announcement that Eurex will list a futures contract based on BTCE is a game changer, it firmly establishes BTCE as the benchmark Bitcoin ETP and go-to product for Bitcoin price discovery. We see the selection of BTCE by Europe\u2019s largest derivatives exchange as recognition of the quality of the product and its world beating liquidity. Also, because BTCE is fully-fungible with the underlying bitcoin, it means physical settlement of the futures contract is enabled through BTCE\u2019s standard creation\/redemption mechanism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Randolf Roth, Member of the Eurex Executive Board<\/strong>&nbsp;said \u201cGiven the growing institutional demand for secure exposure to Bitcoin, we are delighted to begin listing these Bitcoin ETN futures on our regulated trading and clearing infrastructure at Eurex. This move will allow a greater number of market participants to trade and hedge Bitcoin, with this new future being treated in the same way as any other derivatives contract in terms of central clearing, netting, and risk management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This set-up allows investors to track the price development of Bitcoin in a fully regulated on-exchange environment and based on a transparent price discovery of the underlying BTCE. Structured in a similar way as physical Gold ETCs, with an equivalent physical redemption mechanism in place, BTCE\u2019s primary listing trades on Deutsche B\u00f6rse\u2019s ETN trading segment since 18th June 2020. Bitcoin ETN futures are centrally cleared like any other derivatives traded on Eurex. Eurex\u2019s standard clearing, netting, and risk management processes thereby come into effect, mitigating counterparty risk, and reducing operational costs for market participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, and your capital is at risk.<br>Disclaimer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ETC Group (\u00a0www.etc-group.com\u00a0) is specialized in developing innovative digital asset-backed securities such as BTCetc (BTCE) and ETHetc (ZETH) which are currently listed on Deutsche B\u00f6rse, Euronext, SIX, AQUIS UK and Wiener B\u00f6rse.
