21Shares, one of the world's largest issuers of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), calls for regulatory clarity to unlock crypto opportunities for European investors
October 7, 2024--21Shares AG ("21Shares"), one of the world's largest issuers of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), is urging the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to create a unified regulatory framework for including crypto assets in UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) funds. This move would provide much-needed clarity for retail and institutional investors across Europe.
As it stands, the rules around including crypto assets in UCITS funds are inconsistent across Europe. There are UCITS holding crypto in countries like Germany and Malta, while in others countries, like Luxembourg and Ireland, this is not the case. These discrepancies create confusion, making it difficult for investors to understand and compare their options.

ESMA publishes its first annual report on EU Carbon Markets
October 7, 2024--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, is today publishing the 2024 EU Carbon Markets report.
This first edition of the report is providing details and insights into the functioning of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) market.
Key findings
Prices and volatility: Prices in the EU ETS have declined since the beginning of 2023. This was due to a combination of lower demand for emission allowances from weak industrial activity, falling natural gas prices and decarbonisation of the European energy sector, along with increased supply following the decision to auction additional allowances to finance the REPowerEU plan;
Auctions: Emission allowance auctions remain significantly concentrated, with 10 participants buying 90% of auctioned volumes, reflecting a preference by most EU ETS operators to source allowances from financial intermediaries; and
Trading and positions: The vast majority of emission allowance trading in secondary markets takes place through derivatives, reflecting the annual EU ETS compliance cycle where non-financial sector firms hold long positions (for compliance purposes) while banks and investment firms hold short positions.

21Shares Calls for Standardized Crypto Regulations in UCITS Funds
October 7, 2024--21Shares, a leading provider of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), has urged the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to establish consistent regulations for the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in UCITS funds (Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities).
The firm pointed out that the current regulatory landscape for UCITS funds across Europe is fragmented, with countries like Germany allowing UCITS funds to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies, while others like Luxembourg do not.
According to CryptoSlate, Mandy Chiu, Head of Financial Product Development at 21Shares, emphasized that the lack of standardized rules across the region is limiting investment opportunities and creating instability in the market. The call for consistency comes as ESMA reviews regulations on new asset classes, while the European Union (EU) is implementing its Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework.
