CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 50: 21Shares’ Federico Brokate on Staking, Solana, and how to win in the coming altcoin ETF flood

A lot of the excitement following approval of Generic Listing Standards centers on anticipation that specialist crypto ETF firms, which have carved out a niche managing altcoin funds, now have an edge.

Among these, 21Shares stands out. Founded in Zurich in 2018, the group has since grown into a $10 billion AuM multinational, driven by products like its ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB).

It also listed the world's first Solana ETP in 2021 - including staking rewards from the start.

So, with Solana ETFs, plus ETH and SOL staking poised to land on Wall Street imminently, we're excited to sit down with Vice President of 21shares US, Federico Brokate, for a timely episode of CFB Talks Digital Assets.

Listen in to get caught up with a range of topics that matter right now.

Just a sample:

• How learnings from 21Shares' EU SOL ETP place it in pole position to steward investors through this high-growth, high-yield opportunity.
• New income stream, new management skills: investors are converging on firms with the deepest experience of handling the novel operational challenges of staking.
• How 21Shares leverages altcoin ETP management expertise, as the number of eligible ETF assets goes from trickle to flood.
• As comprehensive as Generic Listing Standards are, some tokens still don't make the cut – how much scope is there for the standards to expand over time?
• Why liquid staking tokens (LSTs) could eventually sit alongside proof of stake (PoS) assets to raise the effective staked percentage.
