- Mainstream Crypto Assets as Underlyings: Bitcoin and Ethereum remain the most popular underlying assets for crypto structured products, highlighting the need for more diverse and stable investment options in the crypto space.
- Future of Structured Products in Crypto: The evolution of ETFs backed by digital assets could be a game-changer, potentially broadening the investor base beyond speculators and thus fueling the development of structured products in the crypto sector.
