NEW YORK, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Enigma Securities Ltd. ("Enigma"), a full-service crypto platform for institutional investors, executed an agreement with Iconic Funds BTC ETN GmbH ("Iconic Funds") as an authorized participant for a newly created Bitcoin Exchange Traded Product ("ETP"). The Bitcoin ETP is planned to be listed for trading the week of April 26, 2021. Each fully Bitcoin-collateralized Note of the ETP represents a claim on a specified amount of Bitcoin, less applicable fees, and will trade under the ticker symbol XBTI with an ISIN of DE000A3GK2N1.

Enigma will facilitate note share creation and redemption process for the newly created ETP, leveraging its existing operational and regulatory infrastructure in both traditional securities and cryptocurrency. "We are excited to work with Iconic to bring their exchange traded product to our service platform as we continue to expand our digital asset offerings and access products to meet the needs of institutional demand," said Wilfred Daye, CEO of Enigma. "Iconic and Enigma are like-mined pioneers in creating valuable access products, allowing compliant and cost-effective access to cryptocurrency exposure," said Mr. Daye.

Patrick Lowry, CEO of Iconic Funds and publicly-traded Cryptology Asset Group, said "Iconic's aim is to provide a seamless and trusted manner for institutions and investors to gain exposure to crypto assets, which is why we have structured the physically-backed Bitcoin ETP. Authorized Participants are a key component of such a structure and we are ecstatic to partner with Enigma to facilitate the creation and redemption process of Iconic Funds' ETP."

Iconic Funds is perpetually at the forefront of crypto asset adoption, investing in the crypto space since 2017 and having issued one of the EU's first fully licensed crypto asset index funds in early 2020.
