Introducing the CF Crypto Momentum ETP

This pioneering ETP combines both price momentum indicators and on-chain activity metrics to identify protocols with strong adoption and usage patterns.
According to Stefan Schwitter, Head of Asset Management at Crypto Finance AG, "Our strategy integrates price momentum with on-chain activity metrics, allowing us to select crypto protocols that are actively used and demonstrate significant adoption." This dual-momentum approach creates a differentiated investment product that responds to both market trends and fundamental network activity.
