CoinShares introduced fee-free services for our CoinShares Physical Ethereum ETP and launched two new crypto ETP indices: CoinShares Physical Top 10 Crypto Market, which provides exposure to a diverse range of cryptocurrencies for cost-effective diversification, and the CoinShares Physical Smart Contract Platform, which offers exposure to the infrastructure layers of the digital asset market.

During the past quarter the Capital Markets department has executed three strategic actions to mitigate risk and enhance due diligence: bolstering our counterparty controls and processes using internal expertise; pioneering professionalisation of the sector to reduce counterparty risks, including establishing proofs of concept with several exchanges and custodians for safer trading; and securing new banking partnerships to ensure smooth US dollar transactions in light of recent regulatory changes in the crypto market. These efforts have been instrumental in delivering performance over Q1.
