Swedish regulated crypto asset manager Virtune has listed Finland’s first crypto exchange-traded products (ETP) on Nasdaq Helsinki. This makes it easy and secure for Finnish investors to invest in crypto assets through proven and well-established financial instruments in the local currency.
Virtune has effectively made history as the first company to list crypto Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) on Nasdaq Helsinki. The launch introduces multiple crypto ETPs to the Finnish market, marking a significant first for the country’s financial sector. The ETPs are now trading in Euro. They are accessible to investors through major Nordic financial institutions, including Nordnet and other established brokers.
Apart from being the first-ever crypto ETPs admitted to trading on Nasdaq Helsinki, this is the largest simultaneous crypto ETP launch on a regulated market in the Nordics history. Five products are hitting the market simultaneously. The launch also brings the first regulated staked ETPs to Finnish investors (staking rewards are reflected in the daily price of the ETP).
The historic admission opens up Finland’s €20.5 billion ETP market to crypto assets. This offer Finnish investors regulated access to invest in crypto assets through their existing brokerage accounts for the first time.
Christopher Kock, CEO of Virtune said:
“We are thrilled to introduce Finland’s first crypto ETPs and to be the pioneer in bringing secure and regulated crypto ETPs to the Nordic markets. We have been committed from day one in our vision to becoming the leading crypto asset manager in the Nordics and accelerating the adoption of crypto as an asset class. These euro-denominated listings on Nasdaq Helsinki marks a crucial milestone in our journey.”
All of Virtune’s ETPs are 100% physically backed and fully collateralized. These five euro-denominated ETPs include:
- Virtune Bitcoin ETP: Provides exposure to Bitcoin.
- Virtune Staked Ethereum ETP: Provides exposure to Ethereum combined with the benefits of staking. With staking incorporated, the ETP offers an increased annual return on the investment made in the ETP.
- Virtune XRP ETP: Provides exposure to XRP.
- Virtune Staked Solana ETP: Provides exposure to Solana combined with the benefits of staking. With staking incorporated, the ETP offers an additional 3% annual return on the investment made in the ETP.
- Virtune Crypto Altcoin Index ETP: Offers investors exposure to an equal-weighted basket of up to 10 leading alternative crypto assets (altcoins), excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum. The product is rebalanced monthly, resetting the holdings to equal weight, and existing crypto assets can be excluded and new crypto assets may be included.
Helena Wedin, European Head of Exchange Traded Products at Nasdaq, added:
“As a first mover in the Crypto ETP market, we have been fortunate to be able to build a strong position in Europe with a market share of around 23%. We are now excited to be able to, with Virtune as first issuer, extend our listing and trading service to Nasdaq Helsinki, providing local access to these products.”

Ease of access to crypto ETPs
