The benefits of staking

Passive extra income

Virtune offers staking in our ETPs where 'staked' is included in the product name. This feature allows investors to earn additional yield on their crypto investment through staking rewards, which improves the performance of the ETP. The staking rewards are continuously being added and reflected in the daily price of the ETP.

Staking secures the network

Staking enables crypto asset holders to earn passive income by supporting transaction validation on blockchain networks using Proof of Stake, a critical security mechanism for these networks. Staking in our ETPs is being made directly from our custodian in cold storage, ensuring the crypto assets remain safe without third-party transfers.

Frequently asked questions

What is a crypto-ETP?

A crypto-ETP (Exchange Traded Product) is an exchange-traded product that provides Exposure to one or more Crypto assets, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, without you having to purchase or store the Crypto assets yourself.

Virtune’s ETPs are traded on regulated markets and can be purchased through your regular bank or online broker, and they track the value of the underlying Crypto assets. This means you can hold your crypto investments together with shares, funds and ETFs in the same account.

Why should I choose to invest in Virtune's products instead of trading crypto assets directly?

Investing in Virtune's ETPs offers several distinct advantages for you as an investor:

Simple and Secure: You avoid the complexity of creating and managing a digital wallet, as well as the challenges of selecting a secure crypto exchange for trading. All aspects of security and storage are handled by us.

Tax Efficiency: Investing in our ETPs can be associated with tax benefits. In Sweden it is possible to invest in our ETPs through an Investment Savings Account (ISK) or a Capital Insurance means you do not need to declare individual transactions. Instead of a 30% capital gains tax on direct crypto trading, you pay an annual fixed tax, which can provide significant tax benefits.

Regulated Trading Venue: Our products are traded on Nasdaq, a regulated and secure marketplace, adding an additional layer of safety and reliability to your investment.

Physically Backed Products: All our ETPs are 100% physically backed, meaning that actual crypto assets are stored corresponding to the market value of each ETP, ensuring transparency and trust.

Staking Opportunities: Some of our products also offer staking, which is managed by us and provides extra returns without any effort required from you.

Virtune is a Swedish company based in Stockholm with an EU-approved base prospectus for the market listing of crypto ETPs. We strive to be the safe choice for your crypto investments.

What does it mean that the products are physically backed?

All of Virtune's ETPs are always 100% physically backed, this means that we store the equivalent value of all outstanding securities in the underlying crypto asset with our custodian in cold-storage (offline). The equivalent value of each ETP in the underlying cryptocurrency asset is received and stored separately with our custodian Coinbase before new ETPs are created.

Our products are priced through a so-called coin entitlement to the underlying crypto assets, which means that 1 ETP represents a certain amount of crypto assets. This structure ensures a 1:1 exposure to the underlying crypto asset with the highest possible investor protection and minimized credit risk towards the issuer (Virtune) of the ETPs.

How are the products priced?

Our products are priced based on a 1:1 correlation with the performance of the underlying crypto asset, minus a management fee and, for our staking ETPs, plus staking rewards. They are priced through what we refer to as 'coin entitlement' to the underlying crypto assets, meaning that one ETP represents a specific quantity of crypto assets stored with our custodian. For our staking ETPs, staking rewards are continuously added, contributing to an increase in the amount of crypto assets per ETP over time. You can track the daily amount of crypto assets per ETP on each product page. Each crypto asset is priced according to regulated and established crypto asset reference rates.

What are the benefits with your physically backed ETPs compared to crypto tracker certificates?

All of Virtune's ETPs are 100% physically backed by the underlying crypto assets (asset-backed securities), which means that we store the equivalent value of all outstanding securities in the underlying crypto asset with our custodian in cold storage (offline). This reduces the credit risk to Virtune as the issuer and is a safer option for investors compared to investing in tracker certificates that provide synthetic exposure and do not hold the underlying crypto assets as collateral. In such cases, you could theoretically lose your entire investment if an issuer of synthetic tracker certificates goes bankrupt. This is not the case with Virtune's products, as the crypto assets stored separately with Virtune's custodian serve as underlying collateral, protecting your investment in Virtune's ETPs.

What is staking?

Staking enables crypto asset owners to earn passive income by participating in the validation and confirmation of transactions on a blockchain through a process known as Proof of Stake. This mechanism is a fundamental component of Proof of Stake blockchains, like Ethereum and Solana, and plays a vital role in ensuring the security and authenticity of blockchain transactions. To facilitate a transaction on the blockchain securely and accurately, a validator must stake a certain amount of crypto asset as a guarantee of the transaction's legitimacy. The validator aims to stake as much crypto assets as possible to increase the likelihood of receiving rewards, which are paid out in the same type of crypto asset that was staked. For instance, if you stake Ethereum, you receive additional Ethereum as a reward. The annual reward percentage for staking can vary and may range from 0-14% or higher for some blockchains. Most crypto asset holders cannot act as validators themselves, as it requires significant amounts of crypto assets. Therefore, many choose to stake their assets through an established and trusted validator. Virtune includes staking rewards in its products that have 'staking' included in their names.

What are the benefits for me as an investor with staking?

Staking enables investors to earn additional returns on a crypto asset beyond its potential value growth. This is achieved by contributing to the blockchain through transaction validation, a core function of crypto asset blockchains that utilize Proof of Stake. Staking a crypto asset also helps avoid dilution caused by inflation in the blockchain network. The annual reward rate varies between different crypto assets, typically ranging from 2% to 14%. Virtune offers a fixed annual staking yield of 2-4% for several ETPs. In Virtune Staked Ethereum ETP, the annual staking yield varies where 75% of the annual staking rewards are returned to investors, potentially increasing the Net Asset Value (NAV) over time through these rewards. The remaining 25% is allocated to the custodian, staking provider, and Virtune for managing and maintaining the staking operations of the ETP. The additional return from staking rewards is reflected in the daily NAV of Virtune's staked ETPs.
