Company Description
Fineqia International Inc. (OTC: FNQQF) is a digital asset and investment business that gives investors institutional-grade exposure to opportunities from blockchain-based decentralised finance (DeFi). Publicly listed in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: FNQ) with quoted symbols on Nasdaq (OTC: FNQQF) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurt: FNQA), the company focuses on regulated, exchange-traded products linked to crypto assets and on investments in blockchain-related ventures.
According to its public disclosures, Fineqia provides access to DeFi-focused opportunities primarily through its European subsidiary, Fineqia AG. This subsidiary issues crypto-asset-backed Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) and Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs) that are collateralised by digital assets. These listed instruments are designed to offer exposure to underlying crypto assets while operating within regulated market infrastructure in selected European jurisdictions.
Business model and core activities
Fineqia’s business centres on two main activities: issuing crypto-backed ETPs and ETNs, and investing in businesses connected to blockchain and tokenisation. Through Fineqia AG, the company issues products such as the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (Ticker: YADA; ISIN: LI1408648106) and the Fineqia Bitcoin Yield ETP (Ticker: YBTC; ISIN: LI1444931821). These products are described as yield-oriented instruments that use underlying crypto assets in DeFi protocols to generate returns, while remaining listed on regulated exchanges.
Beyond product issuance, Fineqia states that it invests in businesses tokenising real-world assets (RWAs), decentralised applications (dApps), DeFi platforms, and blockchain protocols. The company also highlights advisory activity in relation to Actively Managed Certificates (AMCs) in Europe, such as the Digital Asset Blockchain Infrastructure (DABI) certificate, via its UK unit.
European subsidiary: Fineqia AG
Fineqia AG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fineqia International, established to pursue business on the European continent. Based in Liechtenstein, Fineqia AG received approval of its base prospectus by the country’s Financial Market Authority (FMA) to offer ETPs and ETNs collateralised by digital assets. The base prospectus complies with the European Union’s passport directive, enabling these products to be distributed across the EU’s single market.
Fineqia AG’s products include the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (YADA), which tracks the FTSE Cardano Index developed in partnership with FTSE Russell. The index methodology tracks ADA spot price and is described as rules-based, reflecting the total return potential of the ETN. YADA has been listed on exchanges such as the Vienna Stock Exchange (Wiener Börse), Börse Stuttgart, and LS TradeCenter in Germany, according to company announcements.
Yield-bearing Bitcoin product
Fineqia has announced the Fineqia Bitcoin Yield ETP (YBTC), issued by Fineqia AG. YBTC is described as a listed product that enables investors to garner additional Bitcoin while holding it. The company states that YBTC targets an annual yield via DeFi activities on the blockchain and automatically converts this yield into Bitcoin, increasing an investor’s BTC holdings without requiring additional capital. It is presented as a physically backed, fully regulated product that combines Bitcoin exposure with yield-generating activities executed on DeFi protocols.
According to Fineqia, YBTC is listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and has also been cross-listed on the Amsterdam and Paris venues of the Euronext Stock Exchange. The company positions this product as part of a broader range of regulated digital asset ETPs available to institutional and professional investors in Europe.
Partnerships and advisory relationships
Fineqia has disclosed several partnerships that support its ETP and ETN platform. Fineqia AG has appointed Apex Group Ltd., through its Malta office, to provide administrative services such as accounting and net asset value (NAV) calculations for its crypto-collateralised ETPs. This arrangement is described as supporting transparency and operational efficiency for the products.
The company has also appointed Quirin Privatbank AG as the paying agent for its ETN business. In this role, Quirin bank handles the distribution of dividends and other payments to investors in Fineqia AG’s ETNs, including the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (YADA). Fineqia states that this function is important for secure and timely payments related to its digital asset-backed ETNs.
In addition, Fineqia AG has engaged Psalion Operations Limited, part of the Psalion Group, as an investment advisor. Psalion is described as a specialist blockchain investment firm with experience in yield generation, asset structuring, and risk-managed exposure to DeFi protocols. According to Fineqia, Psalion advises on the design and management of yield-bearing ETPs, including the DeFi architecture underlying products such as YBTC.
Strategic focus on DeFi and tokenisation
Across its disclosures, Fineqia consistently describes itself as focused on blockchain-based DeFi and tokenisation. The company emphasises regulated, crypto-asset-backed exchange-traded instruments that use DeFi protocols to generate yield. It also highlights investments in businesses that tokenise RWAs and develop DeFi and blockchain infrastructure, indicating a strategy oriented toward digital asset markets and on-chain financial applications.
Fineqia’s communications reference educational initiatives such as London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) information webinars titled “Exploring the differences between Bitcoin and Cardano” and “Making Cardano Accessible,” in connection with its Cardano-related ETN. These references underline the company’s association with listed crypto ETPs and its focus on blockchain-based financial products.
Risk disclosures
Fineqia’s releases include prominent risk notices regarding crypto assets. The company states that crypto assets referenced in its materials are unregulated investment products that can be highly volatile and may suffer sudden and substantial declines in value, including total loss of invested capital. It notes that investors with exposure to such assets, whether direct or indirect, are unlikely to have access to regulatory investor protections or investor compensation schemes. Fineqia also describes target yields for its products as illustrative only and not guaranteed, with actual returns potentially lower, higher, or negative.
