Trailblazing ETFs w/ Eliézer Ndinga (Founding Team @ 21Shares)

Crypto ETFs have gone from fringe idea to one of the biggest gateways between traditional finance and digital assets. Few people have had a closer view of that transformation than Eliézer Ndinga, a founding team member at 21Shares, one of the earliest and most influential firms bringing crypto exchange-traded products to global markets.In this episode, Eliézer joins Cryptoconomy to unpack the evolution of crypto ETFs, the early challenges of convincing institutions to take digital assets seriously, and how products like Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are reshaping access for investors around the world.We explore what it takes to build regulated crypto investment products, why education and trust matter as much as innovation, and how the ETF wrapper became one of the clearest bridges between Wall Street and crypto. Eliézer also shares perspective on the future of tokenized assets, institutional adoption, market structure, and what the next wave of crypto financial products could look like.For founders, investors, builders, and anyone trying to understand where crypto meets traditional finance, this conversation offers a grounded look at how the industry matured — and where it may be headed next.Follow mark on x: @Markkilaghbian
