21shares today announced the launch of two new products: the 21shares Lighter ETP (ticker: LIHT) and the 21shares Venice Token ETP (ticker: VENC).

Both products are physically backed ETPs designed to provide European investors with seamless exposure to two rapidly emerging crypto sectors: decentralised perpetual trading and private artificial intelligence infrastructure. Listed on major European venues, LIHT and VENC trade through conventional investment channels.

The 21shares Lighter ETP offers exposure to Lighter (LIT), the native token of a high-performance decentralised exchange specialising in perpetual futures across crypto, foreign exchange, equities, and commodities. Lighter utilises zero-knowledge technology to ensure fully verifiable order matching and liquidations.

The 21shares Venice Token ETP provides targeted exposure to Venice Token (VVV), the core asset powering Venice, a privacy-first AI platform built to deliver powerful AI inference without exposing or retaining user data, sensitive code, or corporate records.

Directly purchasing and holding crypto tokens requires opening specialised exchange accounts, managing private key security, and navigating operational risk. The 21shares ETP wrapper eliminates these barriers by providing physically backed exposure within a familiar exchange-traded structure available on the most widely adopted brokers and investment platforms.

“Lighter brings a high-performance, fee-generating perpetual futures DEX to traditional accounts, while Venice delivers exposure to the booming private AI sector where data privacy and compute economics meet,” said Jasmin Muelhaupt, Head of Financial Product Development at 21shares. “With the launch of LIHT and VENC, we continue to bridge the gap between frontier protocols and traditional investment portfolios through familiar physically backed structures.”
