About Polkadot
Polkadot is an innovative multi-blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to securely exchange messages and values. Created by the Web3 Foundation, Polkadot aims to build a fully decentralized internet where users are in control. The platform facilitates information and transaction exchange between independent blockchains through Polkadot's relay chain.

Its distinctive feature is the ability to support multiple chains, called parachains, within the same network. Parachains can have their own tokens and specialize for various needs, but they benefit from Polkadot's common security. This makes Polkadot extremely flexible and scalable, suitable for a variety of blockchains.

This ETP caters to institutional investors as well as retail investors, serving the growing demand from investors in the Nordics that have been waiting for a seamless way to gain exposure to Polkadot combined with staking for increased return.

Virtune Arbitrum ETP provides exposure to Arbitrum. Like all of Virtune’s ETPs, Virtune Arbitrum ETP is 100% physically backed and fully collateralized, is denominated in SEK for the Swedish audience and is available on Avanza and Nordnet.

About Arbitrum
Arbitrum is a prominent layer-2 solution for Ethereum, designed to enhance interoperability and scalability within the Ethereum network. By facilitating secure and efficient communication between Ethereum and other blockchains, Arbitrum promotes seamless transfer of data and value, strengthening collaboration among different blockchain systems.

Its ability to support "subnets" – specialized chains with their own tokens and use cases – provides unique flexibility and adaptability critical for versatile and effective blockchain applications. Arbitrum also contributes to improving transaction speeds and reducing costs within Ethereum, making the platform more accessible and appealing for broader usage.
