ETC Group continues rapid growth in the first quarter of 2022 with six new ETC listings, the listing of Europe’s first Metaverse ETF in cooperation with HANetf, and picks up the prestigious ‘Editors Pick’ award at the ETF Express awards.
25 April 2022. London, UK - ETC Group (etc-group.com), Europe’s leading specialist provider of institutional-grade digital asset-backed securities, announced today that it has achieved the international standard of ISO/IEC 27001:2017 for its activities as digital asset manager with primary issuer in Germany. ETC Group’s products enable both retail as well as institutional investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies and digital assets with all the ease of trading on regulated markets through regulated brokers.

Over the past three months we’ve significantly scaled up ETC Groups operations with multiple new ETC listings as well as the introduction of Europe’s first Metaverse ETF. In parallel we’re investing in market leading systems and controls to support this growing business, and are delighted to both be certified as ISO 27001 compliant as well as achieve the notable Editors Pick award at the ETF Express awards.
