21Shares, the Swiss pioneering Crypto ETP issuer, today announced that one of the first cryptocurrency exchange traded products (‘ETPs’) will become available to institutional investors in the UK to trade on Aquis Exchange. This arrangement is in partnership with GHCO, a leading market-maker and liquidity provider specialising in ETFs.

While in the past few years there has been considerable investment and disruption in merchant acquiring, with the emergence of winners such as Stripe and Adyen, the role of the technology providers behind the cardholder side of the payments equation – otherwise known as issuer processors – has been largely overlooked, despite enabling many of the most innovative and valuable fintechs today.

Commenting on sterling and UK equity markets’ muted reaction to UK GDP, Mike Owens, Global Sales Trader at Saxo Markets, said: “Although UK GDP registered strong growth, the numbers are nothing to shout about considering where we’ve come from.

Commenting on UK GDP data for April, Rupert Thompson, Chief Investment Officer at Kingswood, said: “UK GDP posted a large gain in April for the second month running, growing 2.3% m/m in line with expectations. This left GDP up a massive 27.6% up from its low point last April but still down 3.7% on its pre-pandemic level in February 2020. Today’s data confirm a rapid recovery in the UK is well underway and will fuel hopes that the economy will in a few months’ time have recovered all of its pandemic-related losses.”

Commenting on UK GDP and sterling’s potential to reach levels not seen since early 2018, Jesús Cabra Guisasola, Associate at Validus Risk Management, said: “The UK economy grew 2.3% in April (Vs 2.4% estimated), which confirms the British economy is firmly recovering after contracting the most since 1709 last year. There are no doubts that the UK has been one of the countries coming out in a better position from the pandemic after the success of its vaccination program.
