Physical Bitcoin ETP launched by 21Shares, got listed on Nasdaq Dubai for the United Arab Emirates.?Through the 21 Shares Bitcoin ETP, the Middle East, now offers direct investment opportunities in Bitcoin. 

In the United Arab Emirates, 21Shares, a major cryptocurrency exchange-trading product (ETP) provider in the world, will launch a physical Bitcoin ETP.? The new offering from 21Shares is listed on the international financial exchange Nasdaq Dubai under the ticker ABTC, the firm announced on Oct. 12. 

According to 21Shares CEO Hany Rashwan, the newly launched crypto product is fully collateralized by the underlying Bitcoin assets they track with 1:1 leverage. To ensure better security, the ETP's underlying crypto assets are deposited in an offline wallet. 

The company's expansion into the UAE represents a major milestone in its international expansion. Twelve exchanges, which include SIX Swiss Exchange, Deutsche Börse, EuroNext, BXSwiss, Wiener Börse, Quotrix, Gettex, Börse Stuttgart, Börse München, Börse Düsseldorf, list 21Shares' ETPs, in addition to Nasdaq Dubai.  

The two biggest markets for 21Shares' crypto ETPs in Europe are Germany and Switzerland, according to Rashwan. The CEO added that since India decided to tax cryptocurrency profits at a 30% rate, the MENA area has emerged as a hub for major cryptocurrency exchanges like FTX, Kraken, and Blockchain.com, drawing even more investors. There are major plans for Dubai's digital economy.
