The product will debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Switzerland’s largest and Europe’s third-largest stock exchange.
A Floki representative emphasized this move as a breakthrough for memecoin legitimacy in traditional finance.
Despite the milestone, Floki’s price dropped 3.6% over 24 hours, reflecting broader market volatility.
Memecoins, including Floki, saw massive gains in 2024, with CoinGecko reporting an average return of 2,185% for the sector, second only to AI-related crypto projects, which delivered 2,939%.
The ETP is expected to enhance Floki’s presence in mainstream financial markets, further solidifying its standing despite the recent dip in value.
This initiative underlines growing institutional interest in the memecoin space.
