- CoinShares launched a new UCITS investment platform in Europe.
- The company also introduced its first Bitcoin Mining UCITS ETF.
- The platform targets pension funds, insurers, and private banks.
CoinShares has expanded into Europe's regulated UCITS investment market with the launch of a new platform designed to serve large institutional investors.
The company's first product, the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining UCITS ETF, has begun trading on Germany's Deutsche Börse Xetra exchange.
CoinShares said many European institutions were previously unable to invest in its products because their mandates restricted certain investment structures. The UCITS framework removes those barriers by providing a widely accepted regulatory format across the European Union.
The firm plans to use the platform to launch additional digital asset and thematic investment products as demand for regulated crypto exposure continues to grow.
