Recall that in March, the FSA Financial Supervision Authority announced that it would not reject requests from recognized RIE investment funds to create a listed market segment for ETN.

At the same time, the London Stock Exchange said it plans to accept applications for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETN by the second quarter of this year. The market launch date for BTC and ETH ETNs is May 28.
