21Shares President Duncan Moir Sees Active Management as the Future of Crypto Investing

21Shares, a crypto asset manager, is expanding its portfolio management and trading teams to support more complex strategies. The company's president, Duncan Moir, believes active management is the next stage of crypto investing, given the early stage of development of the asset class. 21Shares is also seeing demand for staking-enabled products, such as the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, which enables investors to earn staking rewards. Moir notes a split in institutional interest, with US investors focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, while European institutions are increasingly seeking exposure to newer tokens and protocols.
