Amundi, Europe's largest asset manager, announced plans to launch a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Note (ETN) in early 2026. This move represents a significant institutional milestone under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, potentially broadening access to Bitcoin investments across Europe. In a separate development, CME Group has expanded its cryptocurrency derivatives offerings by introducing regulated options for Solana and XRP. This expansion led to immediate price increases of 12% for Solana and 9% for XRP, reflecting heightened market interest. Additionally, Pyth Network has partnered with Kalshi to integrate regulated prediction market data on-chain. This collaboration aims to bridge traditional finance with decentralized applications by providing verified real-world data sources, enhancing the reliability and scope of blockchain-based financial products.
