Golden Finance reported that 21Shares, an issuer of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), called on EU regulators to establish a unified regulatory framework to include cryptocurrencies in investment products. On October 7, 21Shares called on the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to adjust its regulations to include crypto assets in UCITS funds for retail investors, such as exchange-traded products (ETPs) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 21Shares said that the current EU regulations on the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in such funds are inconsistent, and the regulations vary from country to country, which has caused confusion and inconsistency for investors.
