With efforts to provide investors with an easy and friendly access to the crypto asset market, exchange-traded fund and exchange-traded product sponsor and asset manager, WisdomTree has listed its Crypto Mega Cap Equal Weight ETP on Euronext exchanges in Paris and Amsterdam.

These investment instruments may include commodity, currency, share price, or interest rate. ETPs possess contradicting qualities to crypto ETFs, as crypto ETFs are 100% backed by the assets they are tracking.
Following a recent announcement, WisdomTree has joined the train of asset managers in the US region that are swiftly listing their crypto investment products in Europe despite the regulatory setbacks in their nation.
With support from major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the investment product will be trading under the ticker symbol MEGA.
Prior to this development, WisdomTree had earlier filed for approval for its Bitcoin ETF from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March, 2021. The proposal was delayed following a certain regulatory backlash from the authority.
