While often serving as a key foundational support in general crypto applications, Chainlink is a primary data provider for exchange, lending, and asset management protocols. As a result, Chainlink price feeds are a critical reference point in the integrity of DeFi markets, providing the information necessary to trigger liquidation, mint/burn operations, and settle derivative agreements.

Launched in 2018, Uniswap is a tenured exchange application that remains the leader in enabling users to transact digital assets within a cryptocurrency platform. Uniswap's novel design enables users to both trade and provide the liquidity that supports trading activities within its application, creating a two-sided and self-sustaining marketplace whereby liquidity providers share in the revenue generated by traders' fees. To sum up, Uniswap is a leading alternative to centralized exchanges.
Frank Spiteri, CoinShares’ Chief Revenue Officer, commented on the news, “As the digital assets sector evolves, so too does investor interest in protocols beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. A more thematic approach to digital assets is emerging amongst those most familiar with crypto, and we expect that trend to continue as research and investor education improves. We are excited to add both Chainlink and Uniswap to our lineup of ETPs, allowing investors to access specific key areas of the digital asset ecosystem via cost-effective, listed regulated products.”
This double launch brings the total number of ETPs listed by CoinShares so far in 2022 to seven. Last week, the firm announced the launch of CoinShares FTX Physical FTX Token in partnership with leading regulated cryptocurrency exchange FTX, with seed capital of approximately US$40M.

Firm wins accolade at 12th Annual ETF Express Awards for XBT Provider and CoinShares Physical ETP platforms
March 29, 2022 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey - CoinShares (“the Company”) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS;US OTCQX: CNSRF), Europe's largest digital asset investment firm with US$4.5bn in AUM, today announced that it has been named ‘Best Bitcoin Issuer’ at the 2022 ETF Express European awards.
The awards are in their 12th year, with winners chosen by a combination of robust methodology, based on Trackinsight’s data and peer review.
Townsend Lansing, Head of Product at CoinShares, commented, “We are delighted that our bitcoin ETPs have been recognised amongst an increasingly competitive landscape. Given that they are proxies for investor demand, metrics such as platform AUM and liquidity are looked at closely by institutions when making portfolio allocation decisions. Our ETPs have consistently outperformed when compared to the competition in this regard, and our long-standing and diverse client base is a testament to this.”
CoinShares’ ETP offering has expanded far beyond bitcoin in recent months, with the introduction of four innovative staked ETPs this year, bringing the total number of physically-backed products available to twelve. These new ETPs leverage CoinShares’ technology platform Galata, providing simple exposure to proof-of-stake protocols and the rewards for participating in their security.
The most recent product - a physically-backed Solana ETP - was announced as part of a wider partnership with heavyweight cryptocurrency and derivative exchange FTX. This ETP is the first in the world to feature transparent staking rewards of 3.0% p.a. and a reduced management fee of 0.0% p.a.

Solana ETP is the first initiative between FTX and CoinShares and launches with 1M SOL in seed capital, Staking Rewards of 3.0% p.a. and a reduced management fee of 0.0% p.a.
March 23, 2022 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey - CoinShares (“the Company”) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS;US OTCQX: CNSRF), Europe's largest digital asset investment firm with US$3.8bn in AUM, and FTX, a leading regulated cryptocurrency exchange, today announced a partnership between the two organizations. The first initiative in the partnership is the launch of the world’s first physically-backed Solana exchange traded product (ETP) designed to share the rewards of staking with investors in a transparent way. The ETP will launch with 1M SOL in seed capital.
The partnership with CoinShares is the latest move into the institutional landscape for FTX, following the launch of FTX Access, which offers advisory services, index products, trade execution, analytical tools and capital introductions for institutional investors interested in gaining exposure to digital assets. For CoinShares, this collaboration with FTX and FTX Access continues the Company's mission of bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets in a secured, transparent and familiar manner. Both organizations are at the forefront of innovation for the financial ecosystem and this partnership will continue to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.
Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX CEO, commented on the news, “The goal of FTX Access is to bring institutional-grade services and products to market in a cost-effective manner. We only want to launch products that are genuinely innovative and add value to our clients. CoinShares has a proven track record of providing European investors with innovative and regulated crypto-asset investment vehicles for close to a decade, making them the obvious choice to collaborate with for institutional offerings. We’re excited to work alongside CoinShares to give investors access to the Solana ecosystem and we look forward to collaborating further on additional offerings.”
CoinShares FTX Physical Staked Solana leverages the Company’s technology platform, Galata, that acts as a bridge between the digital asset ecosystem, connecting CeFi platforms to digital asset protocols and markets, in combination with FTX’s industry-leading institutional offerings to provide investors with exposure to Solana and the rewards for participating in the blockchain’s security. CoinShares FTX Physical Staked Solana will be listed on Germany's main market Xetra and is the fourth ETP launched by CoinShares this year.

WKN: A3GXNS
The Issuer formally announced by RNS on March 23, 2022, a reduction in the management fee to 0.0% p.a. and additional staking rewards of 3.0% p.a.
“At CoinShares, we have an aggressive strategy in place to drive the overall growth of the company as well as the digital asset ecosystem as a whole,” said CoinShares CEO, Jean-Marie Mognetti. “An integral piece of our growth process is establishing strategic partnerships with top-tier firms that allow us to provide our investors with additional value and increase our institutional offering, giving our clients additional market penetration. A shared goal of FTX and CoinShares is to offer institutions means of access to cryptocurrency markets and through this partnership, both companies will be able to leverage their industry-leading technology to bring innovative products to the market.”
The unique staking mechanism allows the Issuer to share staking rewards with investors by reducing the management fee and increasing the Coin Entitlement of the ETP each day, as staking rewards accrue. Staked coins do not move from the secure custodian where they are stored, and the ETPs remain 100% physically-backed at all times.
Frank Spiteri, CoinShares Chief Revenue Officer concluded, “The feedback on our growing suite of innovative staked ETPs has been overwhelmingly positive, and collaborating with FTX to create the first Solana ETP with transparent staking rewards for investors allows us to double down on our commitment to providing investors with best-in-class regulated crypto products. Solana is one of the most requested exposures amongst our clients and SLNC is launching with 1M SOL in AUM;a level that meets institutions’ and corporates’ baseline for investment consideration.”

Unique Tezos and Polkadot ETPs to feature staking rewards of 3.0% p.a. and 5.0% p.a. (respectively) and reduced management fees of 0.0% p.a.
January 26, 2022 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey – CoinShares (“the Company”) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS;US OTCQX: CNSRF), Europe's largest digital asset investment firm with over US$2.9bn in AUM, today announced the launch of the world’s first physically-backed crypto exchange traded products (ETPs) designed to share the rewards of staking with investors. CoinShares Physical Staked Tezos and CoinShares Physical Staked Polkadot will be listed on Germany's main market Börse Xetra. The new ETPs leverage CoinShares’ technology platform to provide simple exposure to proof-of-stake protocols and the rewards for participating in their security.
Townsend Lansing, Head of Product at CoinShares, commented on today’s news, “Proof-of-stake protocols require investors to use their holdings to validate the network and its transactions. The validator also earns the protocol’s digital currency, which means investors can contribute their assets to create large pools that share in those rewards. We are proud to launch the first physically-backed crypto ETPs with a unique mechanism that enables us to share staking rewards with investors in a transparent way.”
CoinShares Physical Staked Tezos
Management Fee: Reduced to 0.0% p.a.
Staking Reward: 3.0% p.a.
ISIN: GB00BMWB4803
Ticker: XTZS
WKN: A3GVCZ
CoinShares Physical Staked Polkadot
Management Fee: Reduced to 0.0% p.a.
Staking Reward: 5.0% p.a.
ISIN: GB00BNRRFW10
Ticker: CDOT
WKN: A3GVC0
According to their website, CoinShares' Staked ETPs are built to allow the Issuer to share staking rewards with investors by a) reducing the management fee and b) increasing the Coin Entitlement of the ETP each day, as staking awards accrue.
CoinShares Digital Securities Limited (the "Issuer") formally announced on January 26, 2022 a reduction in the management fees to 0.0% p.a. for both Tezos and Polkadot ETPs, and additional Staking Rewards of 3.0% p.a. and 5.0% p.a., respectively.
CoinShares also notes that staked coins do not move from the secure custodian where they are stored, and the ETPs remain 100% physically backed at all times.
Frank Spiteri, CoinShares’ Chief Revenue Officer, added, “ETP investors should be able to participate in the full growth potential of these protocols. CoinShares has a history of firsts and innovation, having launched Europe’s first Bitcoin ETP in 2015, and we are excited to push the industry forward again with these staked ETP launches. We believe that over time this will become investors' preferred structure for ETPs tracking digital assets based on proof-of-stake blockchains.”
This launch brings the total number of ETPs launched on the CoinShares Physical ETP platform to six, and comes after CoinShares shared its Q3 financial results after listing on Nasdaq's First North Growth Market in March 2021.
Jean-Marie Mognetti, CoinShares CEO, concluded, “Our past successes were closely correlated with the quality and the innovative essence of our technology platforms and infrastructures, always contributing to elevate trust, transparency and innovation as core principles of our Exchange Traded Product offerings. One more time, we are back with a unique offering, breaking the established principles of this industry by leveraging CoinShares’ technology stack and expertise."

Under CoinShares’ ownership, Napoleon will continue to double down on building a vibrant investment community and delivering actionable insights.

Upon completion (expected in the second week of December) all of Napoleon’s team and assets will become part of CoinShares, and benefit from the scale and size of CoinShares’ broader outreach. At this point in time, there will be no changes to Napoleon’s day to day management and product offerings.
Napoleon Group GM JC Dudek commented “Napoleon Group is proud to have built one of Europe’s most active crypto trader communities. This transaction will enable us to focus on accelerating our platform growth and client acquisition. We are very excited to join CoinShares and their broader ecosystem of partners to keep scaling.”
CoinShares’ acquisition of Napoleon is part of the Group’s growth strategy to continue expanding its in-house technology and platforms to reach new markets with new products that will help bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance while recognizing a deep change in investor preferences.
CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti noted “Crypto is about community, and over the last seven years, CoinShares has built a fantastic one. As we continue to grow, it is increasingly important for us to keep developing our ability to distribute our research, expertise, and products directly to our clients via the most appropriate channel. Today, Napoleon offers crypto exchange clients the capabilities to hook their exchange account to our platform of thematic algorithmic trading strategies and baskets designed to offer better risk adjusted return based on customer selected risk profile. Scaling this platform, and its attached services, is the perfect way to kick start a new and exciting consumer focused growth chapter for CoinShares.”

October 7, 2021 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited, (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS) ("CoinShares" or the "Group" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a strategic investment of USD 11,845,790 in FlowBank, an online bank headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
Following the investment, CoinShares holds 110,000 shares in FlowBank, representing 9.02% of its enlarged share capital.
About FlowBank
Founded by Charles-Henri Sabet in 2020, licensed by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”) and a member of esisuisse, FlowBank aspires to make investing accessible to everyone. It does so through intuitively-designed investing platforms, educational trading courses led by seasoned experts, and by offering highly competitive pricing.
Today more than 50,000 financial products including stocks, bonds, commodities, ETFs, Forex, CFDs, and more are available to FlowBank’s clients, allowing both private and institutional clients to invest in a wide range of asset classes on its FlowBank and FlowBank Pro platforms. Additionally, with FlowBank’s planned launch of MetaTrader 4 (“MT4”), customers will be able to further enhance their Forex trading experience.
Strategic Investment
FlowBank’s mission starts within Switzerland’s borders, but the business has international ambitions. FlowBank's association with CoinShares, Europe’s largest and longest standing digital asset firm, further solidifies FlowBank’s mission to create a seamless and innovative banking and investment journey for its customers, whilst keeping the very best of Swiss banking’s heritage.
While FlowBank’s customers can already invest in a variety of products, including CoinShares’ crypto ETPs, it is hoped that its offering can be enhanced with the assistance of CoinShares’ technology stack. From the beginning of next year, it is planned that customers will be able to directly buy, HODL, and sell cryptocurrencies, as well as other tokenized assets, directly from their FlowBank account.
Charles-Henri Sabet, FlowBank’s founder and CEO, commented:
“One year after its successful launch and rapid growth, FlowBank is excited to announce that CoinShares, a pioneer in digital asset investing listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market, has become a new strategic investor. This further reinforces FlowBank’s commitment to go beyond the frontiers of traditional investment by providing its customers easy-to-use and trusted gateways to traditional and decentralised finance.
Additionally, this comes at an exciting point in FlowBank’s journey as we are inaugurating a new office in Zurich. The expansion into the country’s main financial hub underlines FlowBank’s deeply-rooted commitment to Switzerland, opening an office in the heart of Zurich’s financial district. With our new location at Löwenplatz, we will now be able to extend our outreach and better connect with our growing user base across all Swiss Cantons".
Jean-Marie Mognetti, CoinShares Co-Founder and CEO, added:
“CoinShares’ technology stack has been the backbone of our success since 2015. To date, this infrastructure layer has powered our internal commercial developments. Offering FlowBank our expertise and the capacity to start building on our technology stack is a testimony to our state-of-the-art infrastructure. FlowBank’s and our vision for the banking and investing industries are aligned and will serve as fertile soil for a fruitful partnership. It is our pleasure to become a strategic shareholder alongside Charles-Henri Sabet and his team in order to help them achieve their growth ambitions.”

With this latest cross-listing, CoinShares continues to expand its European footprint and will be able to provide a larger investor base with access to digital assets through industry leading, regulated investment vehicles.

Frank Spiteri, CoinShares’ Chief Revenue Officer added “Listing our physical Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs on Euronext Paris and Amsterdam is another milestone for our CoinShares Physical platform, which has grown to over $560m in assets under management after launching in January. The cross-listing will allow us to continue our mission of working alongside clients to provide investors access to cryptocurrencies through investment products. We are excited to expand into these new marketplaces and continue growing the presence of digital assets in Europe.”
Chief Executive Officer at CoinShares, Jean-Marie Mognetti, commented on today’s news, “We have seen the investor sentiment in Europe shifting in favour of digital assets over the last few years. The institutional demand for our products clearly demonstrates the part cryptocurrencies play in institutional investment portfolios. By listing our physical ETPs in Amsterdam and Paris we’re continuing to put our client’s needs first while also filling a gap in the marketplace. We recently recorded the strongest second-quarter results in CoinShares’ history, and this news, coupled with the recent announcement of our strategic alliance with Invesco Europe, augurs very well for the future of our asset management business.”
