21Shares
21Shares AG is a Swiss-headquartered issuer of physically backed cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), founded in 2018 as Amun AG and part of the 21.co group. It runs the largest suite of crypto ETPs in the world — single-asset, staking, and index/basket products covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and dozens of other assets — listed on regulated European exchanges including SIX Swiss Exchange, Xetra and Euronext, and distributed through banks and brokers. The product is a regulated financial instrument, not software: 21Shares publishes no developer program, no public API reference and no SDKs. What it does publish machine-readably is regulatory distribution data — the FinDatEx European MiFID Template (EMT V4.2), European PRIIPs Template (EPT) and European ESG Template (EET V1.1.3) spreadsheets covering its full ETP range with ISINs, costs and target-market data — plus PRIIPs KIDs, prospectuses, final terms and factsheets as PDFs, and an RSS research feed.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles 21Shares the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — 21Shares scores 12.0/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
21Shares AG issues regulated crypto exchange-traded products, not software — its published sitemap carries 8,267 URLs across 13 locales with no developer, API or docs page anywhere in it, and the one API host on its own domain (data.21shares.com, an AWS API Gateway) answers 403 Forbidden to every path and method, undocumented; the only machine-readable data it distributes is the FinDatEx EMT/EPT/EET spreadsheet family on its CDN.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. 21Shares does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile 21Shares
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for 21Shares. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSSecurity Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of 21Shares, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
