CoinShares confirms robust financial health and quantifies limited exposure to the FTX Exchange
CoinShares has significantly reduced its exposure to FTX over the past week to approximately £26.6M. The Group's financial health remains solid despite its remaining exposure to FTX, with £240.6M net asset value as at 30 September 2022. XBT Provider and CoinShares Physical ETPs remain fully hedged and collateralized.
10 November 2022 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS;US OTCQX: CNSRF) (“CoinShares'' or the “Group”), Europe's largest and longest standing digital asset investment firm, discloses its exposure to the FTX Exchange, while confirming that the Group has no exposure to FTX’s sister company, Alameda Research. The ability to withdraw funds from FTX was halted on 8 November.
The Group’s total exposure to FTX amounts to approximately $30.3M (£26.6M), and is comprised of:
- 190 BTC (approximately $3.1M) and 1,000 ETH (approximately $1.2M) in pending withdrawals which were submitted prior to the halting of withdrawals by FTX;
- approximately $25.9M of USD and USDC;
- approximately $110k of other assets.
The above represent proprietary assets of the Group, and XBT and CoinShares Physical noteholders would remain unaffected in the event that they were not recoverable. Noteholders may at any time access the Armanino TrustExplorer Attestation reports (CoinShares Physicals and XBT Provider), which are published daily.
CoinShares CEO, Jean Marie Mognetti stated, “In light of the high level of public scrutiny over the financial position of FTX and in the spirit of transparency, we have decided to disclose our current exposure to FTX. Thanks to our prudent approach to risk, we had materially reduced our exposure to FTX exchange in response to increased volatility and uncertainty, ahead of FTX’s decision to freeze further withdrawals.
The financial health of the Group remains strong. As recently announced in the Group’s recent earnings results, CoinShares’ net asset value as at 30 September 2022 stood at £240.6M”.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
