Traders should monitor for potential minor tracking differences in the ETPs post-March 26 due to the switch from CCIX to FTSE indices, though no immediate price impact is expected. Arbitrage opportunities or rebalancing effects are unlikely given the similar design of the indices.

Executive Summary
21Shares announced the addition of FTSE International Limited as a new index administrator for its UK-listed crypto ETPs, replacing CCIX with FTSE's Bitcoin and Ethereum indices as the reference prices starting March 26, 2026.
