Star Metro - Fineqia AG Partners with Apex Group to Administer Crypto-Backed Exchange Traded Products (ETPs)

The collaboration, which started in December 2024, ensures that Fineqia AG's crypto-collateralised ETPs are managed with institutional-grade rigour, aligning with global regulatory standards while delivering transparency and operational efficiency to investors.

"Collaborating with Apex Group elevates the structural integrity of our ETPs," said Warren Sergeant, chief financial officer of Fineqia International. "Their depth of experience and strong infrastructure give our products the credibility and resilience needed to scale digital asset exposure in a compliant, secure way across Europe."

Apex Group administers more than $3 trillion in assets globally, with a fast-growing presence in the digital asset space. Their technology-driven model supports thousands of funds and financial products, ensuring efficient servicing at scale.

"Thanks to our long-standing expertise in digital assets, the Apex Group team in Malta is proud to drive value for our clients through best-in-class technology and robust execution standards. We are delighted to support Fineqia in their growth", said Omar Cascun, Apex Group Country Head for Malta.

Fineqia AG recently made headlines with the launch of the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield Exchange Traded Note (ETN) (Ticker: YADA; ISIN: LI1408648106) - the world's first ETP to utilise underlying crypto assets in decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols. Listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in January and Stuttgart Stock Exchange in March 2025, the ETP had attracted C$45 million in assets under management (AUM) shortly after launch.

ETPs such as those offered by Fineqia AG represent a new frontier in digital asset investing, offering exposure to blockchain-based assets through regulated, liquid instruments. Unlike traditional Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), ETNs are debt securities that track the performance of an underlying asset, providing sophisticated investors with a unique blend of access and efficiency. Both ETNs and ETFs fall under the ETP category.
