Virtune Stablecoin Index ETPCrypto assets have rapidly evolved from a technological phenomenon into a recognized asset class with trillions of dollars in global market value. Blockchain technology forms the foundation for this growth, enabling secure ownership, transactions, and value transfers without the need for a central intermediary.
The development is driven by several structural and macroeconomic factors: inflation, growing government debt, rapid technological advancement, increased adoption, and the emergence of clear regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s MiCA regulation, which aims to increase transparency and strengthen investor protection.
At the same time, the market has gained further legitimacy as major established players such as BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and several institutional managers integrate crypto assets into their offerings through regulated investment products. This marks a clear shift: crypto assets are now a relevant part of the discussion around modern asset management and have become an established part of the financial market.
Bitcoin represents a fundamental shift in how we think about money and value. As the first and most established crypto asset, Bitcoin has created a new paradigm for digital transactions and value preservation.
The growing interest from institutional investors has further solidified Bitcoin’s position as an established asset class. Today, several publicly traded companies, universities, governments, states, and leading asset managers have made significant investments in Bitcoin, while global financial institutions have launched their own products with exposure to Bitcoin and other crypto assets. As a broader segment of the financial market gains access to crypto assets, Bitcoin’s role as a potential tool for long-term value preservation is strengthened, particularly in times marked by inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.
Launched in 2009, Bitcoin is the first and most well-known crypto asset, now owned by hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
A decentralized monetary system—there is no central authority or intermediary that can control or manipulate the network. This ensures the network remains free from manipulation and vulnerabilities.
There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoin. Like gold, Bitcoin is often seen as a store of value (“digital gold”) and a hedge against inflation.
Bitcoin follows predetermined rules for the rate at which new coins are created, including halving the creation rate approximately every four years.
Historical comparisons show that portfolios with a certain share of Bitcoin—such as 5 percent—have generated higher returns than portfolios without crypto exposure. The outcome depends on factors such as market climate and asset allocation, but it illustrates how even a small share of Bitcoin—a decentralized, global, and digital asset with limited supply—can influence long-term portfolio performance.

Portfolios with a certain share of Bitcoin have in some cases demonstrated improved risk-adjusted returns compared to portfolios without exposure. The combination of high average annual returns and low correlation with traditional assets has historically contributed to better risk-adjusted performance.
Bitcoin has shown characteristics distinct from traditional asset classes, especially in terms of movement patterns. One of the most notable features is its low correlation with assets such as stocks and bonds. During periods of market turbulence, Bitcoin has in several cases moved independently from other markets, creating opportunities for diversification within a broader portfolio.

ETPs are traded on exchanges similarly to stocks, but their liquidity functions differently. The number of outstanding ETP units is continuously adjusted as new units are created or redeemed based on demand. This means that liquidity primarily depends on the liquidity of the underlying asset, not the trading volume of the ETP itself. For investors, this means that large trades can often be executed without issue, as long as the underlying asset is sufficiently liquid.
