LSE Opens Doors to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETN Applications

In a follow-up to the Stock Exchange Notice issued on March
11, 2024, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) has disclosed its intention to
commence accepting applications for the admission to trading of Bitcoin and
Ethereum Crypto Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs) from April 8, 2024.

The Exchange’s decision is contingent upon the approval of
the base prospectuses by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is
necessary for listing Crypto ETNs on the Main Market and the Official List of
the FCA.
Pending regulatory approval, the proposed date for the commencement of trading
for these Crypto ETN securities is slated for May 28, 2024.

The LSE has strategically opted to launch the market for
Crypto ETNs on May 28 to facilitate the maximum participation of issuers on the
inaugural trading day. This choice of date factors in the necessity for issuers
to meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Crypto ETN factsheet.
Additionally, it allows ample time for issuers planning to list securities on
the launch date to compile the requisite documentation to establish a Crypto
ETN program, including obtaining FCA approval for the base prospectus.
