The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was created in 2009, and it was a response to the financial crisis of 2008. Bitcoin was released by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. For the first time, people had access to a digital currency equipped with a fully decentralized administration. Bitcoin belongs to the first generation of cryptocurrencies. Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, belongs to the second generation of cryptocurrencies. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is a complete ecosystem and almost anything can be programmed on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Most of the cryptocurrencies entering the market today belong to the third generation cryptocurrencies. Third generation cryptocurrencies are more technologically advanced than previous generations.

The market value of cryptocurrencies is determined by supply and demand, just like other financial assets. The crypto market is a relatively new market, therefore we can also see that the market value of cryptocurrencies varies more over time than traditional asset classes such as stocks. The maximum supply of almost every cryptocurrency is limited. In traditional currencies such as EUR and USD, which are also called fiat currency, the setup is different. The value of traditional currencies is largely based on the decisions of central banks. In the long term, the central banks' monetary policy will be able to lead to inflation. The cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are immune to the central banks' monetary policy. Because of this, cryptocurrencies offer an interesting alternative to the current monetary system. Cryptocurrencies can have many different use cases. Since the first cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), thousands of different cryptocurrencies have appeared in the crypto market. Each cryptocurrency has its own strengths and weaknesses. When investing in cryptocurrencies, it is important to learn and discover the purpose of the relevant cryptocurrency and other background information to ensure that it is reliable and suitable to invest in.

A collateral agent has the purpose of representing and protecting the investors in our ETPs (Exchange Traded Products). Their role is passive and would get activated in the event that the issuer (i.e., the company behind the products) goes bankrupt or becomes insolvent. We have chosen to collaborate with the Law Debenture Trust Corporation as our collateral agent. In an unlikely event where Virtune would become insolvent or go bankrupt, our collateral agent would take over the operations, sell of the cryptocurrencies, and subsequently redeem all ETPs, paying out the relevant amount minus fees in SEK or EUR to all ETP holders.

By having a collateral agent, we reduce the credit risk to Virtune as the issuer, making our ETPs a safer choice for your investments.
