Bitcoin ETF

CoinShares, the investment firm specializing in digital assets, has announced impressive financial results for the first quarter of this year. According to their <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/a.storyblok.com/f/155294/x/58ecc3b476/coinshares_q1_24_report.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">latest report</a>, CoinShares achieved a remarkable 216% year-over-year increase in revenue, gains, and other income, totaling $55 million (£43.9 million), compared to $17.4 million (£13.9 million) in Q1 2023.&nbsp;

In addition to the substantial revenue growth, CoinShares also reported a significant rise in its total assets under management (AUM), reaching a notable milestone of £4.77 billion ($6 billion) as of March 31st. Out of the total, £3.82 billion ($4.8 billion) is held on its exchange-traded products (ETP) balance sheet issued by XBT Provider and CoinShares Digital Securities Limited.
The company stated that the remaining £0.95 billion ($1.2 billion) is linked to the BLOCK index and funds obtained from the recent purchase of Valkyrie’s ETF business. In the meantime, the company’s overall comprehensive earnings amounted to £34.1 million in the first quarter, 11 times more than the amount disclosed in its Q1 2023 outcomes.
Interestingly, this increase reflects the expanding demand for investment products related to cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.

Recall that CoinShares International Limited moved further in its vision to establish its presence in the United States crypto market with the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/coinshares-completes-acquisition-of-valkyrie-bitcoin-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Valkyrie Bitcoin (BTC) Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) acquisition</a>. The deal also gave CoinShares access to Valkyrie’s $530 million AUM. it gained sponsor rights to the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/valkyrie-reapplies-to-u-s-sec-list-spot-btc-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund</a>, the physically-backed BTC ETF that was recently launched.
Notably, the move is pivotal and in alignment with the firm’s plan to build a global asset management franchise. Leveraging Valkyrie’s established platform, expertise, and user base are some of the perks of the deal.
<h2 id="b-coinshares-decision-to-acquire-valkyrie-bitcoin-etf-b">CoinShares’ Decision to Acquire Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF</h2>
Conversations on the acquisition of Valkyrie have been ongoing since 2023. In November 2023, CoinShares received an option to acquire the blockchain-based company. However, it wasn’t until January 2024 that the firm decided to exercise the option. For the European investment firm, the completion of the deal is an indication of its deep commitment.
Consequently, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/coinshares-distributes-eth-staking-yields-to-etp-clients-new-ai-crypto-draws-attention-of-top-whales/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinShares will focus on product innovation</a> and market differentiation while trying to develop the U.S. asset management venture using Valkyrie’s ETF infrastructure. It also plans to put products like the highest-performing non-leveraged ETF in 2023 across all sectors and the newly introduced $BTFX, a 2x leveraged bitcoin futures ETF, as the stars of the show.
