Trading for the BNB ETP – listed as ABNB – begins today on the SIX Swiss Barter – the world’s tenth-largest exchange. Designed to accomplish the top-ten cryptocurrency attainable to a beneath crypto-orientated audience, the product, a world-first for the cryptocurrency, can be bought and captivated application a allowance or a bank.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said the artefact would advice accessible up agenda assets to acceptable investors, giving them acknowledgment to “a new and adapted asset chic with a different ambit to account tokens…through a acceptable banking infrastructure.”
Issued on the Amun Onyx Platform, the new BNB ETP reportedly took about a month’s assignment to create. Each new artefact will clue absolutely 1.09890110 BNB and will barter at a starting amount of about $20 – depending on bazaar conditions.
Laurent Kssis, who abutting Amun as its Managing Director aftermost week, said that alike with the badge burns acceptable to bind accumulation and bedew volatility, the actual 100M BNB tokens will accommodate “ample amplitude for a Binance ETP to abide for a actual continued time.”
Having acquired about 200% back Q1 2024, the bread is “well aural the arbitrage abuttals of accustomed animation behaviours”, he said. Traders will acquisition the new ETP adorable as it gives exposure, through a acceptable product, to the accomplished Binance ecosystem.
Binance has afresh approved to accomplish the case that BNB fits the belief for a account token. In its address appear aftermost week, the barter argued that the bread was not aloof a agency to accept discounted trading fees, but could additionally be acclimated as a agency of acquittal on some biking websites, a new abundance of amount or alike to acquirement real-estate on sites such as Propy.
In total, Binance said BNB had added than 120 altered use-cases. As Crypto Briefing reported at the time, it appears the barter is alive to abstain a balance allocation in the US by the SEC.
Amun came to bulge aftermost year back it launched its aboriginal crypto ETP, tracking a bassinet of the then-five better cryptocurrencies by bazaar cap. It’s aboriginal fully-collateralized ETP, tracking both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), came to bazaar beforehand this month.
Amun has accustomed advance from the son of Tim Draper, Graham Tuckwell, the architect of gold ETF artefact provider ETFS Capital, and Greg Kidd, co-founder of advance close Hard Yaka. The Block’s founder and CEO, Mike Dudas, is additionally one of the company’s berry investors.

There's a able alternation amid slippage and bazaar cap.
Smaller-cap cryptocurrency bill are disturbing with low liquidity, destined to ache in a abandoned aeon with their ecosystems disturbing to advance abysmal adjustment books – authoritative affairs harder to execute.
That’s the cessation of a address appear alone to Crypto Briefing, in which the automatic bazaar maker provider Hummingbot apparent a developing trend that ability ultimately actuate which bill accept a abiding future.
Based on their findings, advisers begin that the cryptocurrency bazaar is affective into two audible camps: bill with liquidity, and those without.
“The most aqueous asset is 600x added aqueous than the atomic aqueous asset” according to the report, and large-cap cryptocurrencies and stablecoins about accept the arch liquidity.
Slippage, Not Volume
The address uses slippage as a metric, which represents the aberration amid the amount accepted and amount executed. Coins with aerial clamminess accept lower slippage, as they accept added adjustment books so asks can be abounding at altered amount points.
Researchers at Hummingbot altercate it’s a stronger metric than trading volumes, which can be calmly manipulated by exchanges or the bread projects themselves.
Based on Binance adjustment book abstracts from April, the address begin Bitcoin (BTC) – which has a bazaar cap of $150bn – was the best aqueous asset, with Ether (ETH) – $20bn bazaar cap – additionally faring able-bodied with an boilerplate bid slippage 2.4x added than BTC.
The best illiquid bread was Dent Wireless (DENT) – at $19M absolute amount – with slippage of about 600x that of Bitcoin, followed by the cryptocurrency and buzz activity Pundi X (NPXS) – which has a $48M bazaar cap.
Furthermore, clamminess had circumscribed added aural a baby accumulation of assets. Hummingbot acclaimed that there was a able absolute alternation amid clamminess and bazaar capitalization.
August price-performance appeared to accept little to no aftereffect on the clamminess of an asset, conceivably because cryptocurrencies tend to abide awful activated and move as one. There was a actual anemic alternation of -0.17 with volatility, suggesting bill with college slippage accomplished somewhat greater amount fluctuations.
The alternation amid animation and slippage is about abundant added arresting amid added asset-classes, decidedly Forex. That ability highlight crypto traders accept become acclimatized to a airy bazaar and accordingly abode orders at added amount credibility than they would, say, in authorization currencies area prices tend to move in a abate range.
Part of Hummingbot’s role is to accomplish clamminess added attainable beyond the cryptocurrency market, which they do in allotment by hosting a exchange for alone clamminess providers.
As able-bodied as accepting a abate market-cap, bill with high-slippage additionally tended to accept a “dearth of affordable and effective” bazaar makers. Bill with abate bazaar caps bootless to allure able clamminess providers, who had “little allurement to accomplish the abstruse affiliation and advance the requisite account for illiquid long-tail assets.”
Unless bazaar makers can be coaxed assimilate smaller-cap cryptocurrencies, clamminess will apply added in the top-ten. That ability accomplish added bill beneath applicable and harder to trade, blame added bodies off their ecosystem.
