leading the charge in bringing about the adoption of crypto assets for all 
investors in Europe."

increased to over USD 5 million as of 6 January 2021 and the ETP has 
featured a performance of nearly 60%. FiCAS's 15 Active Crypto ETP is a 
discretionary-managed investment vehicle that does not track bitcoin or any

cryptocurrencies with a view to generate sustainable returns over a time 
horizon of 3 to 5 years. 
 
Actively managed by FiCAS, the BTCA successfully lowers the barriers to
