Virtune’s Staked Cardano ETP: What You Need to Know
The Virtune Staked Cardano ETP, which began trading on February 5, 2025, offers investors 1:1 exposure to Cardano. What makes this ETP different is its additional return from staking rewards, which are added to the daily price of the product. As noted in their press release, this helps investors earn passive income by participating in staking.
Similar to all of Virtune’s exchange-traded products, the Virtune Staked Cardano ETP is 100% physically backed by ADA tokens. Additionally, it’s priced in euros (EUR) for the Finnish market, and it comes with an annual management fee of 1.49%. As noted, the product will be available through brokers and banks, including Nordnet, making it accessible to many investors.
In addition, ADA tokens within the ETP will be stored in cold storage with the firm’s custodian, Coinbase, ensuring the safety and integrity of the assets. By offering this product, Virtune bridges the gap between traditional financial institutions and the growing crypto market, further solidifying Cardano’s position as a viable asset class for institutional portfolios.
