CoinShares Secures Exclusive Purchase Option for Valkyrie Investments' ETF Division
CoinShares, a crypto asset management firm, announced that it has secured an exclusive option to acquire Valkyrie Investments' Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) unit. This move affords CoinShares a significant foothold in the United States, amid growing speculation that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is on the verge of approving a spot Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64% ETF.
About CoinShares
Based in Saint Helier, Jersey, CoinShares is a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry with its shares trading on Nasdaq Stockholm. The exclusive option to acquire Valkyrie Investments' ETF division they secured will expire on March 31. However, the company has not disclosed the exact amount it paid for the option or the details of pricing for the acquisition, should it decide to proceed.
Spot Crypto Exchange-Traded Products
Europe is already home to spot crypto exchange-traded products, a development that has not yet occurred in the U.S. However, recent buzz suggests that a U.S. version could be imminent, a development that would provide a broader range of investors with access to Bitcoin investments.
CoinShares' Expansion into the U.S. Market
CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti views the present disparities in the market evolution as a source of both challenges and considerable opportunities. The option to acquire Valkyrie is seen as a significant step in speeding up CoinShares' expansion into the American market and promoting the deployment of their digital asset management expertise on a global scale.
