Digital asset financial products are investment vehicles or services derived from cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. These products encompass a range of offerings, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures contracts, options, lending protocols, and structured notes that track or utilize digital assets. They provide traditional investors with regulated avenues to gain exposure to the digital asset market. Their design often incorporates mechanisms for custody, pricing, and risk management specific to the underlying digital holdings.
Context
The market for digital asset financial products is experiencing significant expansion, driven by institutional demand for regulated exposure to cryptocurrencies. Regulators worldwide are actively developing frameworks for their issuance and trading, focusing on investor protection and market integrity. A primary future development involves the creation of more complex derivatives and securitization products, alongside broader adoption by conventional financial institutions.
The FCA’s policy reversal mandates that regulated exchanges integrate new product structuring and retail risk disclosure protocols to facilitate compliant cETN distribution.
