Virtune Stablecoin Index ETP

A stablecoin is a digital asset designed to maintain a steady value, typically pegged to a traditional currency such as the US dollar or euro. The goal is to combine the stability of fiat money with the efficiency of blockchain technology - allowing users to transfer, store, or trade value without the volatility seen in other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Stablecoins are increasingly being used not only within the crypto ecosystem but also across traditional finance - by banks, payment providers, e-commerce platforms, and a growing number of industries worldwide.

Stablecoins make stable money accessible to everyone. In many parts of the world, local currencies are weakened by inflation and economic instability, while access to reliable currencies like the US dollar remains limited. Stablecoins provide a digital alternative - allowing anyone with an internet connection to store and transfer value globally, instantly, and securely. Stablecoins also make transactions faster, cheaper, and more efficient - for individuals, banks, and virtually any type of company - while enabling truly borderless payments.

Stablecoins aren’t replacing money - they are improving it. Just as the internet revolutionized communication, stablecoins are redefining how value moves across the world - making financial inclusion and stability truly borderless.

Virtune Stablecoin Index ETP does not include actual stablecoins. Instead, it comprises the native crypto assets of the blockchains that form the backbone of the stablecoin ecosystem. The product is designed to provide investors with a simple, secure, and cost-efficient way to gain exposure to the growing infrastructure that enables and supports stablecoins - the rails for stablecoin transactions.

The Virtune Stablecoin Index ETP includes assets that play an important role in the stablecoin ecosystem, are considered part of stablecoin infrastructure, and are eligible as underlying assets on regulated stock exchanges such as Nasdaq Stockholm, Nasdaq Helsinki, and Deutsche Börse Xetra. The index is rule based and rebalanced quarterly to ensure that all included assets continue to meet the required eligibility criteria. This means that any ineligible asset will be removed from the index, while newly qualified assets can be added - ensuring that the index remains dynamic and attractive to investors.

The value of the assets included in the Virtune Stablecoin Index ETP is indirectly influenced by the adoption and growth of stablecoins. Stablecoins themselves maintain a constant value, but their increasing use drives demand for the blockchains, infrastructure projects, and technologies that support their issuance, transfer, and settlement.

As the stablecoin market expands - through higher transaction volumes, broader integration in financial systems, and increased on-chain activity - the underlying assets powering that ecosystem may benefit from greater network usage and utility. This potential growth in usage and adoption can, over time, be reflected in the market value of those assets, and therefore in the index’s performance.
