21Shares Polkadot ETF

21Shares Polkadot ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides direct, regulated exposure to Polkadot, a leading layer-0 blockchain protocol focused on interoperability between multiple blockchains. The fund is physically backed, meaning it holds Polkadot tokens rather than using derivatives, and is designed to track the performance of DOT as measured by a dedicated pricing benchmark, net of fees and expenses. By packaging Polkadot into a traditional ETF structure, 21Shares Polkadot ETF allows institutional and retail market participants to access the digital asset through standard brokerage and custodial channels, without managing crypto wallets or private keys. The ETF plays a role in the broader digital asset market by bridging conventional capital markets infrastructure with the Polkadot ecosystem, serving investors who seek blockchain exposure within familiar regulatory and operational frameworks.
