Star Metro - Fineqia AG Partners with ETPLink to Drive Primary Market Efficiency

ETPLink will integrate its advanced distributed ledger technology (DLT) based platform with Fineqia AG's existing infrastructure to automate and streamline the exchange-traded product (ETP) creation and redemption workflow, delivering a seamless, efficient, and transparent process for all stakeholders.

"We are thrilled to welcome Fineqia AG to the ETPLink network," said Roger Balch, director of business development and operations at ETPLink. "We look forward to bringing further speed and efficiency to market participants, driving liquidity, and contributing to the growth and development of the ETP market."

"This partnership echoes Fineqia AG's standing in maintaining transparency and integrity," said Bundeep Singh Rangar, chief executive officer of Fineqia International Inc. "By integrating ETPLink's primary market order management platform into the foundation of our ETN products, we streamline operations for our authorized participants, fund administrators, and custodians. This enhances investor trust, ensures regulatory alignment, and further solidifies our position in the digital asset market.

On 24January 2025, Fineqia AG announced the issuance of the world's first ETN to deploy underlying crypto assets in decentralized finance (DeFi). The Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (Ticker: YADA; ISIN: LI1408648106) is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange. It was also listed on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange on 10 March 2025.

Exchange-traded products (ETPs) include exchange traded- funds (ETFs) and ETNs. ETNs, such as those issued by Fineqia AG, are debt instruments that track the performance of an underlying asset, including cryptographically encrypted digital ones. Together with ETFs, ETNs form a broader category of ETPs that provide investors with regulated and liquid access to a variety of asset classes.

The partnership agreement between Fineqia AG and ETPLink was signed on 12 June 2023. ETPLink's services commenced with the launch of the ETN, on 24 January 2025, in line with the terms of the agreement.
