In 2021, increased institutional adoption and friendlier regulations fueled investors' interest in cryptocurrencies. The total crypto market cap soared in November to hit the $3 trillion mark, eclipsing Silver's market cap ($1.3 trillion) and closing the gap with Gold ($11.4 trillion), the store-of-value "O.G.".
Looking to spice up their portfolios with the "new era" assets, a horde of investors injected over $8 billion of FOMO money in Crypto Exchange-Traded-Products (ETPs), instruments that provide easier and simpler access to cryptocurrencies. Highlighting 2021's best Crypto ETPs list are 21Shares Binance Coin ETP (ABNB, +1,246%), Ether Tracker Euro ETC (ETHEREUM XBTE, +424%), 21Shares Ethereum ETP (AETH, +398%) and 21Shares Ripple XRP ETP (AXRP, +355%).
ABNB ($583 million in assets), seeks to provide exposure to the performance of Binance coin (BNB), the native token of the Binance Exchange and one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in terms of trading volume globally. Binance coin or BNB grew to become the third-largest cryptocurrency (excl. stablecoins) by market cap ($85 billion, YE 2021), trailing Bitcoin ($890 billion, YE 2021), and Ethereum ($438 billion, YE 2021).
In 2021, the ETP soared as the underlying asset took off (+1,270%, 2021). It has a total expense ratio of 2.5% and trades on Euronext Paris (ABNB FP, EUR), Euronext Amsterdam (ABNB NA, USD), SIX Swiss Exchange (ABNB SE, USD), BX Swiss (ABNB BW, CHF), and Gettex (21XJ GZ, EUR). Since its inception on October 14th, 2019, ABNB generated over +2,600% in cumulative gains.
