A person was found dead in the ruins of a house fire in Tvedestrand, Norway, police confirmed Monday morning. The blaze was reported at 1:57 a.m. after being detected by surveillance cameras installed by the fire department to monitor the old wooden housing in the coastal town. When police arrived at the scene, the house was fully engulfed in flames, complicating initial rescue efforts.

Initially, authorities believed only one person was involved in the incident. That individual, who had connection to the property, was quickly accounted for and transported to Arendal Hospital with unspecified injuries. However, during investigations conducted Monday morning, police made the grim discovery of a deceased person in the fire debris. The identity remains unconfirmed, though investigators suspect the deceased is also connected to the residence.

Police spokesperson Vanja Bruvoll of the Agder Police District stated that next of kin have been notified about the discovery. The house has been completely destroyed by the fire, and the cause remains unknown at this stage. Criminal technicians have been called to the scene to conduct preliminary examinations as part of the investigation into the fire's origin.

The investigation will include tactical measures such as witness interviews and the use of drones to document the scene. The fire site has been cordoned off, and police presence will remain visible during ongoing work. Bruvoll emphasized that currently there are no indications of criminal activity related to either the fire or the death, though the investigation continues to determine the exact circumstances.

Swedish digital asset manager Virtune has launched what it claims is Europe's most cost-efficient Sui exchange-traded product (ETP) on Euronext Paris, marking another step in the company's expansion across European markets. The Virtune Sui ETP, with the ticker VRTU, provides investors with exposure to the Sui cryptocurrency through a regulated, physically backed investment vehicle. This launch comes as Virtune continues to build its position as one of the leading issuers of regulated crypto ETPs in Europe.

The new ETP features an industry-leading 0.95% annual management fee, making it the most cost-efficient Sui ETP available to European investors. Virtune plans to further expand the product's distribution by listing it on local German exchanges, including gettex and Tradegate, to improve accessibility for German investors. The company has established itself as a trusted provider in the digital asset space, serving over 150,000 investors since its launch just over two years ago.

Security and regulatory compliance remain central to Virtune's approach, with Coinbase serving as the crypto custodian for all of the company's ETPs. The underlying crypto assets are held in cold storage, providing institutional-grade security for investors. This infrastructure supports Virtune's commitment to offering European investors secure, transparent, and regulated access to digital asset markets through traditional investment channels.

Christopher Kock, CEO of Virtune, emphasized the company's mission to make innovative digital assets more accessible to investors. "We are excited to launch the most cost-efficient Sui ETP in Europe, reinforcing our mission to make innovative digital assets more accessible to investors," Kock stated. The launch strengthens Virtune's position as it manages more than $475 million in assets across its product offerings, continuing its growth trajectory in the European digital asset management landscape.
