How it is doing
Digital asset and investment company Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ, OTC:FNQQF) said on Tuesday that its subsidiary Fineqia AG has appointed Germany’s Quirin Privatbank AG as the paying agent for its exchange-traded notes (ETNs) business.
The agreement formalizes Quirin Bank’s role in overseeing the distribution of dividends and other investor payments tied to Fineqia AG’s ETNs, which are backed by digital assets.
The bank’s services began on January 24, coinciding with the launch of the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN, which it helped support.
Terms of the agreement with Quirin Bank were not disclosed.
Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ, OTC:FNQQF) earlier this week highlighted the continued growth and institutionalisation of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) worldwide. Speaking with Proactive, CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar said the value of crypto ETPs had grown from $40.00 billion to $120.00 billion, describing the shift as “the beginning of something big.”
The company said increased institutional adoption was a key driver of this growth. It noted that ETPs provide a familiar investment vehicle for exposure to crypto assets, helping to democratise access across both institutional and retail investors.
Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ, OTC:FNQQF) announced a partnership between its subsidiary Fineqia AG and ETFbook, a data analytics firm, to enhance the operational efficiency of its exchange-traded note (ETN) business.
Under this partnership, ETFbook will act as the Portfolio Composition File (PCF) Calculation Agent for Fineqia AG's ETNs, the company said in a statement.
Insight: Fineqia leaps into crypto, AI, blockchain and the next generation of the...

What management says
Fineqia International Analyst Matteo Greco joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share insight regarding the company's analysis of global Exchange Traded Products with digital assets as collateral. The findings revealed that Assets Under Management for these products reached a historic $150 billion in November, a more than threefold increase from $49.5 billion at the start of 2024. This growth was bolstered by market optimism surrounding U.S. presidential election results.
The company said ETP AUM grew 202.6% year-to-date, far outpacing the broader digital asset market. It rose by 49.2% in November alone, breaking the previous $100.5 billion record set in October. Bitcoin ETPs led the charge, with their AUM jumping 49.6% in November to $124.4 billion, driven by a 37.2% increase in BTC’s price, which reached $96,485. The digital asset market surpassed its November 2021 high, reaching a total market capitalization of $3.57 trillion, a 40.7% increase from $2.54 trillion in October. Year-to-date, the market capitalization more than doubled from $1.77 trillion at the end of 2023.
For the first time, Ethereum spot ETFs recorded positive cumulative net flows, with November net inflows of $1.1 billion, bringing total net inflows to $573 million since inception. Greco noted that ETPs, including Exchange Traded Funds and Exchange Traded Notes, continue to attract significant investor interest, further cementing their role as a key vehicle for accessing the digital asset market. This growth reflects increasing institutional and retail demand for secure and accessible exposure to cryptocurrencies.
