8 terms

exchange traded products (etps) financial

"one of the world’s largest issuers of cryptocurrency exchange traded products (ETPs)"

Exchange traded products (ETPs) are investment tools that are bought and sold on stock exchanges, similar to stocks. They typically track the performance of a specific asset or group of assets, such as commodities, currencies, or market indexes, allowing investors to gain exposure without owning the underlying assets directly. ETPs matter to investors because they offer a flexible, accessible way to diversify investments and respond quickly to market changes.

etf financial

"distribution for the 21shares Ethereum ETF (TETH) for staking rewards"

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is like a basket of different investments such as stocks or bonds that you can buy or sell easily on the stock market, just like a regular share. It allows people to invest in many companies at once, making it a simple way to grow savings without picking individual stocks.

staking rewards technical

"distribution for the 21shares Ethereum ETF (TETH) for staking rewards earned"

Staking rewards are incentives given to individuals who commit their cryptocurrency holdings to support a blockchain network's operations, such as confirming transactions and maintaining security. Think of it like earning interest or dividends for locking up your savings or investments, encouraging people to keep their assets engaged in keeping the system running smoothly. For investors, staking rewards provide a way to earn passive income while helping to secure the network.

ether medical

"Ether is a relatively new asset class, and the market for ether is subject"

Ether is the native digital token used to power and pay for operations on the Ethereum blockchain, functioning like fuel that lets programs run and transactions be recorded. Investors watch ether because its price reflects demand for the Ethereum network (similar to how gasoline demand reflects driving activity): changes can signal broader interest in decentralized finance, smart contracts and crypto markets, and affect valuations of related investments.

short selling financial

"There are special risks associated with short selling and margin investing."

An investing strategy where someone borrows shares and sells them now, planning to buy them back later at a lower price to return to the lender, pocketing the difference; if the price rises instead, the borrower loses money. Think of it like borrowing a book to sell today and hoping you can repurchase it cheaper later. Short selling matters because it lets investors bet against overvalued stocks, can add market liquidity and price discovery, but it also increases volatility and carries the risk of large or unlimited losses.

margin investing financial

"There are special risks associated with short selling and margin investing."

Margin investing is using borrowed money from a broker to buy more securities than you could with your own cash, effectively amplifying both potential gains and losses. It matters to investors because it increases buying power like using a loan to buy a larger house, but also adds costs (interest) and the risk of forced selling if the value falls below required levels, making returns more volatile and time-sensitive.

prospectus regulatory

"please read the Trust's prospectus: https://cdn.21shares.com/uploads"

A prospectus is a detailed document that explains a company's plans for offering new shares or investments to the public. It’s important because it provides potential investors with key information about the company’s business, risks, and how they might make money, helping them decide whether to invest. Think of it as a guidebook for understanding what you're buying into.

creation units financial

"Only Authorized Participants may trade directly with the Trust and only large blocks of Shares called "creation units.""

Creation units are large blocks of an exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) shares that big market players can exchange with the fund for the underlying basket of securities, or vice versa. Think of it like a bakery swapping a box of finished cookies for the exact ingredients — this mechanism helps keep the ETF’s market price close to the value of its holdings, supports liquidity, and lets investors buy or sell without large price gaps.
