ARK Invest: Experienced Investment Team

ARK was the first public fund manager to gain exposure to Bitcoin, initiating its first allocation in 2015. Since then, ARK has successfully navigated multiple crypto market cycles and continues to publish cutting-edge research. 

As crypto-native experts, 21Shares and Ark team up to deliver a compelling digital asset ETF suite, backed by our powerful investment capabilities and track records.

Technology Forward

Deep level of understanding of blockchain technology. Innovative first-to-market products - we launched the world's first staking ETP product.
