"ETFbook's experience and expertise in the analytics and financial markets sector make them an ideal partner to support the operational efficiency of our ETN."

"We are very pleased to work together with Fineqia in bringing this innovative digital asset solution to a broader client base via the ETN wrapper", said Pawel Janus, Ph.D., chief executive officer of ETFbook. "The advancing sophistication of ETN investment opportunities requires robust technological foundation to ensure up-to-date and accurate reflection of the portfolio allocation so that both primary and secondary markets may result in efficient pricing and operational resilience. We are very excited to be part of this innovation along Fineqia partners."
