Switzerland first cryptocurrency ETP to take off Next Week/ 25% XRP.

While all eyes are still glued to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States to give a verdict on the first Bitcoin ETF, the Swiss regulators have just raced ahead. According to the latest updates coming from Switzerland, the main stock exchange has given a green light to the world’s first exchange-traded product tracking multiple cryptocurrencies.

As the BTC prices hit the lowest point for the year, Swiss regulators took the opportunity to bring some cheer to the market as they announced the world’s first cryptocurrency-based exchange-traded product. The Amun Crypto ETP, which will start trading next week on the SIX exchange in Zurich, has been designed to track an index based on the movements of five leading cryptocurrencies.

The ETP has been set up in a way where just under half of the ETP’s assets will be invested in bitcoin with the remainder divided between XRP (25.4 per cent), Ethereum (16.7 per cent), bitcoin cash (5.2 per cent) and Litecoin (3 per cent). The ETP will carry an annual management fee of 2.5 per cent.
Hany Rashwan, co-founder and chief executive of Amun, a London financial technology company, said the cryptocurrency ETP had been constructed to meet the same strict standards required of conventional exchange-traded products widely used by investors.
He was quoted speaking to Financial Times where he said
“The Amun ETP will give institutional investors that are restricted to investing only in securities or do not want to set up custody for digital assets exposure to cryptocurrencies. It will also provide access for retail investors that currently have no access to crypto exchanges due to local regulatory impediments,”

It seems progression is being made towards adoption and there are already plans to create the first ever national cryptocurrency. Dubai, the largest and most wealthy city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has   plans for issuing emCash , a cryptocurrency that would have become the first ever to be backed by a state or government. However, it seems they were beaten by the punch… El Petro Venezuela will become the first country to have its own national cryptocurrency, the Petro (PTR). The project is backed the president Nicolas Maduro and, according to the   whitepaper , the original idea came from the previous president, Hugo Chavez. He wanted a “strong cur...

XRP THE GLOBAL STANDARD

For an evolving industry, especially one which constantly undergoes changes and improvement literally on a daily basis; it is pretty hard to keep up and maintain one's confidence in his/her decision. The media bais ( born out of sheer ignorance and lack of in-depth research) is another obstacle that individual investors and players in the field faces constantly aside the fraudulent activities associated with this space. Although it is true that most of the so-call digital assets and cryptocurrencies are nothing but mere scam as witnessed in past years, majority of the project are doomed to fail by the end of the this decade. How ever, it is only fair to state that those which will survive this time dimensional journey will eventually change the course of the human race especially in the area of finance and internet of things.  While it is known that the world financial system is not a fair play ground, it is not difficult to see the effects of these unfairness in the space.Kindl...
