Frankfurt, June 4, 2025 – Virtune, the Swedish regulated crypto asset manager, today announced the listing of Virtune Coinbase 50 Index ETP (VCOIN50) on Xetra, one of Europe’s most prominent trading venues. The product is available to Swedish investors through brokers such as Avanza and Montrose.
Virtune has seen sustained demand for digital assets from institutional and retail investors in the Nordic and European region. Building on this momentum, the VCOIN50 ETP listing on Deutsche Börse’s Xetra (Xetra ticker: VRTC) segment represents a key milestone in Virtune’s ongoing expansion across Europe. Coinbase will act as the custodian for VCOIN50.
Virtune has made history as the first company to list a crypto Exchange Traded Product (ETP) tracking the COIN50E index, developed by Coinbase, a trusted and global leader in crypto services and administered by MarketVector IndexesTM (“MarketVector”), a leading global index provider.
This launch represents several key firsts for Europe’s financial markets:
- First ever ETP to track the Coinbase 50 Europe Index
- The widest crypto ETP in Europe containing up to 50 crypto assets
