CoinShares, a major crypto asset management company headquartered in Europe, has launched a new investment product offering exposure to Telegram-linked Toncoin.
CoinShares International <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/coinshares-launches-ton-etp-with-zero-management-fees-and-2-staking-yield-302596628.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">announced</a> a merger with blank-check company Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp. to launch an exchange-traded product (ETP) on Toncoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/toncoin-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TON</a>).
The new product, CoinShares Physical Staked Toncoin, <a href="https://coinshares.com/nl-en/etp/physical-ton/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">started</a> trading on Switzerland’s primary stock exchange SIX under the ticker CTON on Tuesday.
Toncoin is the native crypto asset of The Open Network (<a href="/toncoin-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer">TON</a>), a blockchain platform closely integrated with the Telegram messenger. Over the past year, TON has seen a significant decline, with its market capitalization falling 59% year-to-date to $5.7 billion at the time of publication, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/toncoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">according</a> to CoinGecko.

“With Telegram's 900+ million active users and TON’s high-performance capabilities of over 104,000 transactions per second, the blockchain combines technical performance with existing market reach,” CoinShares said in a statement announcing the CTON launch.
The new ETP will offer automatic yield generation from network <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/explained/what-is-a-blockchain-validator" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">validation rewards</a>, featuring a 2% staking yield, with trades available in the US dollar, it said.
