21Shares AG, a Switzerland based issuer of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), has announced significant updates to four of its Bitcoin and Ethereum-linked ETPs listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Effective March 26, 2026, the company will appoint FTSE International Limited as an additional index administrator for its program and switch the crypto asset reference prices used for these products.

The affected ETPs include:

  • 21Shares Bitcoin ETP (ISIN: CH0454664001, tickers: ABTC / BTCU)
  • 21Shares Ethereum Staking ETP (ISIN: CH0454664027, tickers: AETH / ETHU)
  • 21Shares Bitcoin Core ETP (ISIN: CH1199067674, tickers: CBTC / CBTU)
  • 21Shares Ethereum Core Staking ETP (ISIN: CH1209763130, tickers: ETHC / CETU)

Currently, these products rely on CCIX Bitcoin USD (CCBTC) and CCIX Ethereum USD (CCETH) as their reference prices.

How 21Shares and FTSE are Repricing Crypto ETPs

Henceforth, from March 26 onwards, they will transition to the FTSE Bitcoin Index (1HR 1700 CET) for Bitcoin products and the FTSE Ethereum Index (1HR 1700 CET) for Ethereum products. Accordingly, the corresponding new Bloomberg index codes will be FBTC1HRE and FETH1HRE, respectively.

The FTSE Global Digital Asset Index Series, administered by FTSE Russell (part of London Stock Exchange Group), provides institutional-grade benchmarks for digital assets.

These single-asset indices use a methodology involving the FTSE DAR Reference Prices, with the “1HR 1700 CET” variant applying a one-hour lookback to determine fixes at 17:00 Central European Time.

In essence, this aims to deliver reliable, screened pricing for crypto exposures, drawing from vetted exchanges and data sources.

The new changes subsequently enhance the robustness and standardization of pricing for these ETPs, aligning them with FTSE Russell’s established framework amid growing institutional interest in digital assets.

All other product details, including fees, structure, and regulatory listings with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, remain unchanged.

21Shares AG, headquartered at Pelikanstrasse 37, 8001 Zurich, Switzerland, emphasized that full details are available in its UK Base Prospectus dated January 8, 2026, accessible on its website. The announcement is not an offer to sell securities, particularly in the United States, where the products are not registered.

All things considered, this move reflects broader trends in the crypto ETP space toward diversified, high-quality index providers to improve transparency and investor confidence in volatile digital asset markets.

As Wall Street deepens its involvement in crypto products and billionaire investors increasingly eye crypto infrastructure, the methodology for weighting and pricing these basket components consequently becomes critical for maintaining accurate exposure to the broader market performance.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
