Bitwise is also promoting the approval of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) by relevant platforms so that their investment advisors can provide clients with channels for cryptocurrency allocation.Currently, among the institutions collaborating with Bitwise, 17 have approved cryptocurrency concept stock ETPs, 11 have approved Bitcoin ETPs, 6 have approved Ethereum ETPs, 6 have approved ETPs for the top ten cryptocurrency portfolios, and 2 have approved Solana ETPs, with 1 each approving Bitcoin and gold combination and XRP ETPs. Asad stated that since the first batch of spot cryptocurrency ETFs was launched in January 2024, the cumulative net inflow into cryptocurrency ETPs has been approximately $77 billion. Currently, there are over 50 spot cryptocurrency ETPs in the U.S. market, and the number is still increasing, covering BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, LINK, XRP, ZEC, HYPE, cryptocurrency portfolios, and more. In addition, the interest of wealth management institutions in cryptocurrency assets is also continuously growing, and the related demand is extending from ETPs to cryptocurrency trading and custody, payment, and tokenization fields.

Cryptocurrency ETP issuer 21Shares announced the listing of a synthetic ETP linked to Anthropic on the Vienna MTF (Multilateral Trading Facility), with the trading code CLAU.The product gains synthetic exposure to Anthropic by holding notes issued by FalconX, which are linked to perpetual futures. In addition to a 1% annual management fee, investors will also bear financing and capital costs.

Amundi stated that net inflows into gold ETPs and gold ETCs exceeded 10 billion euros in the third quarter, surpassing the highest annual inflow record set in the entire year of 2022.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on platform X that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has just approved 3x long Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas ETPs under the Securities Act of 1933.

The cryptocurrency asset ETP issuer 21Shares has listed the first European Zcash exchange-traded product (ETP) on the pan-European exchanges in Paris and Amsterdam, with the code ZCASH and an annual management fee of 2.5%. This product physically holds ZEC, with BitGo serving as the custodian.ZCASH is traded in euros in Paris and in dollars in Amsterdam, with an initial issuance of 5,000 shares, each with a net asset value of $20.04, and an asset management scale of approximately $100,000. Grayscale's Zcash ETF ZCSH has an asset scale close to $890 million and will complete a 1-for-3 share split on September 30.

According to The Block, Bitwise has officially launched the Lighter Staking ETP (ticker: BLIT), which is listed on the Deutsche Börse Xetra, providing investors with exchange-traded exposure to LIT tokens.The product tracks the Kaiko Lighter Reference Rate Index and plans to activate staking yield capture features once the assets under management reach a certain threshold.

On Tuesday, European asset management firm 21Shares launched the first physically-backed ETP tracking Zcash on the Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam exchanges, allowing investors to gain exposure to ZEC through brokerage accounts without directly holding the cryptocurrency. 21Shares also introduced an ETP tracking ETHFI, which is the governance and utility token of the decentralized finance protocol Ether.fi, providing crypto-financial services such as staking. Both ETPs are physically-backed with an annual management fee of 2.5%, higher than most Bitcoin and Ethereum investment products in Europe.The launch of the Zcash ETP closely follows Grayscale's introduction of the Zcash ETF in the United States, which is listed on the NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH. Zcash has recently performed strongly, with prices briefly surpassing $1500, and a nearly 1100% increase over the past year, leading to heightened market interest in it as an alternative to Bitcoin. Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl believes that Zcash may benefit from a "latecomer advantage," helping it overcome Bitcoin's entrenched network effects.The popularity of Zcash has also spread to the mining sector. Fortitude Digital Mining told Cointelegraph that the company mined about 28% of the total ZEC in the first half of 2026, with its focus on Zcash based on the network's proof-of-work model, supply cap, and privacy features.

tradeXYZ announced the launch of the Events feature, advancing the vision of making Hyperliquid a universal exchange, a single composable system for trading financial assets and real-world outcomes.Users can deposit spot BTC into a single unified account at tradeXYZ, borrow USDC through portfolio margin, open perpetual positions for pre-IPO SpaceX, hedge against the upcoming SK Hynix earnings report event with the event market, and choose the champion of the U.S. Open.Events will cover sports, politics, economics, and financial markets, with categories and contract formats continuously expanding. The initial Up/Down markets cover stocks, commodities, and pre-IPOs, driven by the depth and liquidity of perpetual contracts on HIP-3 by tradeXYZ. These perpetual contracts provide continuous price discovery and serve as a settlement source, with each contract based on the XYZ liquid market price rather than external oracles.

The decentralized AI intelligent network DGrid announced that its decentralized AI model marketplace (DGrid Model Marketplace) is officially online.The marketplace is open to three types of model providers: model developers, model fine-tuners, and model deployers with computing infrastructure capabilities. They can freely list models on the platform, set their own prices, and earn real-time settlement revenue when models are called. For developers, the marketplace provides a unified entry point to discover, compare, and directly call various models through a unified API, without the need to switch between different platforms or connect to multiple interfaces.DGrid stated that the model marketplace is the "supply side" of its network, working in coordination with the AI Gateway (access side) responsible for calls, connecting AI creators and users. Currently, DGrid has aggregated over 200 mainstream models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, MiniMax, GLM, Kimi, and has more than 15,000 paid users.In terms of quality assurance, the marketplace is supported by DGrid's self-developed Proof of Quality (PoQ) mechanism. PoQ conducts independent, random sampling of model providers through the platform's own benchmark test set and records the verification results on-chain to ensure service quality and pricing transparency—this mechanism does not touch user call data. The core members of the DGrid team have doctoral backgrounds from institutions such as Stony Brook University and have published 4 academic papers related to PoQ.Currently, the DGrid Model Marketplace is officially online. Model providers can apply to join, and developers can also experience one-stop AI model discovery and access services through the platform.

Agents can autonomously procure external services through OKX Agentic Wallet and package their capabilities into paid MCP tools to earn revenue, truly achieving a value closed loop for a decentralized Agent economy.
