Fineqia Issues Bitcoin Yield ETP via DeFi; Yield Compounds Investors' BTC
Holdings
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire (https://www.accessnewswire.com/) / July 2,
2025 / Fineqia International Inc. (CSE:FNQ)(OTC:FNQQF) (Frankfurt:FNQA), a
digital asset and investment business, announces the Fineqia Bitcoin Yield
Exchange Traded Product (https://pr.report/c0k5) (ETP) (Ticker: YBTC, ISIN:
LI1444931821), a listed product that enables investors to garner additional
Bitcoin while holding it. YBTC targets an annual yield of 6% via
decentralised finance (DeFi) activities on the blockchain.

YBTC automatically converts this yield into Bitcoin (BTC), increasing an
investor's BTC holdings without requiring any additional capital. Listed on
the Vienna Stock Exchange (Wiener Börse) (https://pr.report/c0k6) , it is
the first regulated, exchange-traded instrument in the world to provide BTC
yield from DeFi protocols. The product is available for institutional and
retail investors.
"With YBTC, we've transformed Bitcoin from a store of value into a
yield-generating digital asset," said Bundeep Singh Rangar, chief executive
officer of Fineqia. "It allows investors to earn more Bitcoin while they hold
it, combining long-term conviction with compounding returns, all inside a
regulated wrapper."
YBTC arrives at a time of increasing investor interest in crypto products. As
per CoinShares' Digital Asset Funds Report, Bitcoin ETPs now account for more
than $150 billion in global assets under management( i ). Most of these
products, however, offer only passive exposure and are devoid of any yield.
YBTC is the first physically backed, fully regulated product to offer
meaningful yield on Bitcoin - without capping upside or compromising exposure.
While some structured products generate yield through options-based overlays,
they typically limit price appreciation, leading to underperformance relative
to holding BTC outright.
In contrast, YBTC allows investors to retain full Bitcoin exposure while
earning additional BTC through carefully managed DeFi-based yield activities.
It offers a rare combination of daily liquidity, transparent pricing, and
sustainable yield - all within a listed, compliant investment vehicle.
There is increasing demand for innovative products that go beyond simply
corresponding to BTC's price. Nearly nine out of ten institutional investors
plan to increase allocations to ETPs and spot crypto assets in 2025, as per an
EY Report.( ii )
The ETP is issued by Fineqia AG, the company's Liechtenstein-based
subsidiary. It is advised by Psalion Operations Ltd, a blockchain-focused
investment firm with deep expertise in DeFi yield. The product offers in-kind
investment, allowing Bitcoin holders to transfer their holdings to the ETP
without incurring costs.
YBTC joins Fineqia's expanding portfolio of yield-oriented crypto investment
vehicles, including the Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN
(https://fineqia.com/li/products/ADA%20ETN) (Ticker: YADA; ISIN:
LI1408648106). Together, these offerings reflect the company's vision to
deliver secure, transparent, and innovative access to digital assets through
regulated market infrastructure.
DeFi refers to income generation activities such as borrowing, lending,
trading and liquidity provisioning, conducted on blockchain networks.
Transactions are managed via digital contracts stored on a blockchain, called
smart contracts, that automatically execute when predetermined conditions are
met. They provide greater transparency, efficiency, and accessibility compared
with traditional financial systems.
The DeFi sector is growing significantly with the total value locked (TVL) in
DeFi protocols surpassing $182 billion in December 2024, according to DeFi
Llama.( iii ) Market research firm Statista projects global DeFi market
revenue could reach $542 billion in 2025, driven by rising adoption and
innovation.( iv )
