21Shares Revises Cryptocurrency Reference Values for Four Major ETPs

21Shares AG, a Swiss issuer of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), has revealed important updates regarding four of its Bitcoin and Ethereum-linked ETPs that are listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Starting March 26, 2026, the firm will designate FTSE International Limited as an additional index administrator for its program and will change the reference prices for the crypto assets associated with these products.

The ETPs impacted include:

• 21Shares Bitcoin ETP (ISIN: CH0454664001, tickers: ABTC / BTCU)
• 21Shares Ethereum Staking ETP (ISIN: CH0454664027, tickers: AETH / ETHU)
• 21Shares Bitcoin Core ETP (ISIN: CH1199067674, tickers: CBTC / CBTU)
• 21Shares Ethereum Core Staking ETP (ISIN: CH1209763130, tickers: ETHC / CETU)

At present, these products utilize CCIX Bitcoin USD (CCBTC) and CCIX Ethereum USD (CCETH) as their reference prices.

From March 26 onward, they will shift to the FTSE Bitcoin Index (1HR 1700 CET) for Bitcoin products and the FTSE Ethereum Index (1HR 1700 CET) for Ethereum products. Consequently, the new Bloomberg index codes will be FBTC1HRE and FETH1HRE, respectively.

The FTSE Global Digital Asset Index Series, managed by FTSE Russell (a part of the London Stock Exchange Group), offers institutional-grade benchmarks for digital assets.

These single-asset indices employ a methodology that incorporates the FTSE DAR Reference Prices, with the “1HR 1700 CET” variant utilizing a one-hour lookback to establish fixes at 17:00 Central European Time.

This approach aims to provide dependable, screened pricing for crypto exposures, sourced from approved exchanges and data providers.

The new modifications subsequently strengthen the reliability and standardization of pricing for these ETPs, aligning them with FTSE Russell’s established framework in light of increasing institutional interest in digital assets.

All other product specifics, including fees, structure, and regulatory listings with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, will remain unchanged.

21Shares AG, located at Pelikanstrasse 37, 8001 Zurich, Switzerland, noted that comprehensive details are available in its UK Base Prospectus dated January 8, 2026, which can be accessed on its website. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell securities, particularly in the United States, where the products are not registered.

Overall, this action reflects wider trends in the crypto ETP sector towards diversified, high-quality index providers to enhance transparency and investor trust in fluctuating digital asset markets.

As Wall Street intensifies its engagement with crypto products and wealthy investors increasingly focus on crypto infrastructure, the methodology for weighting and pricing these basket components becomes essential for ensuring accurate exposure to overall market performance.
