Virtune launches Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP on Nasdaq Stockholm and Deutsche Börse Xetra

Stockholm, November 3, 2026 – Virtune, a Swedish regulated crypto asset manager, announces today the launch of the Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP on Nasdaq Stockholm (ticker: VIRAI) and Deutsche Börse Xetra (ticker: VRTI).

The launch is Virtune's 25th exchange-traded product, offering investors diversified exposure to crypto assets related to the infrastructure underlying the emerging AI agent economy.

The AI agent economy – the next phase of artificial intelligence development

Artificial intelligence is currently undergoing a major transition. AI is evolving from answering questions and generating content towards autonomous operation, where it can perform tasks, purchase services, and execute transactions.

AI agents can, for example, purchase computing power, pay for data, and engage in economic interaction with other AI agents without requiring human approval for every single transaction.

This development creates new kinds of needs for digital infrastructure. Payment networks can enable automated transactions between AI agents, while trading and liquidity are needed for the exchange and trading of digital assets.

At the same time, infrastructure and data are required for AI agents to communicate with each other and utilize reliable information. Further, the operation of AI models and the execution of complex tasks necessitate computing power.

Blockchains and crypto assets are expected to play a significant role in these areas, thereby contributing to the growth of the emerging AI agent economy.

About Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP

Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP is a physically backed exchange-traded product (ETP) designed to offer investors diversified exposure to the rapidly growing AI economy through crypto assets.

The product tracks an index whose crypto assets are related to artificial intelligence and its underlying infrastructure. These include autonomous AI agents, decentralized AI computing power, and blockchain infrastructure that enables AI-based applications and transactions.

This is achieved through a transparent, physically backed structure utilizing institutional-grade security solutions.

The index has been developed in cooperation with index provider MarketVector, and at launch, it consists of 13 crypto assets divided into four key segments of the AI agent economy: payment networks, trading and liquidity, infrastructure and data, and computing power.

The index is balanced in such a way that each crypto asset initially has an equal weight. The index weights are rebalanced quarterly, at which point the weights of the crypto assets are restored to their targeted levels and the composition of the index can be adjusted as the technology develops.

At launch, the index's 13 crypto assets are divided into the following four segments:

• Payment networks: Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Stellar (XLM), XRP and Sui (SUI).
• Trading and liquidity: Hyperliquid (HYPE), Uniswap (UNI) and Jupiter (JUP).
• Infrastructure and data: NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Chainlink (LINK) and Pyth Network (PYTH).
• Computing power: Bittensor (TAO) and Render (RENDER).

Virtune CEO Christopher Kock comments:

"Stablecoins and tokenization have been the two biggest trends in the crypto market in recent years, and now we are seeing how AI agents could emerge as the next major megatrend. AI is evolving from answering questions toward autonomous operation, where it can purchase services, execute payments, and interact with other AI agents.

This development can create an entirely new digital economy, where crypto infrastructure plays a central role. Through the Virtune AI Crypto Index ETP, we want to offer investors the opportunity to gain broad exposure to crypto assets that can become important building blocks in the emerging AI agent economy."
