CoinShares’ Staked ETPs are designed to provide simple exposure to proof-of-stake protocols and the rewards for participating in their security. They are built to allow the Issuer to share staking rewards with investors by reducing the management fee and by increasing the Coin Entitlement of the ETP each day, as staking awards accrue.
On January 26, 2022, the Issuer formally announced a reduction in the management fees to 0.0% p.a. and additional staking rewards of 5.0% p.a. for Polkadot.
Townsend Lansing, Head of Product at CoinShares, commented, “The SIX Swiss Exchange was one of the first regulated exchanges in Europe to allow for the trading of digital asset ETPs, and Swiss investors continue to show strong interest in investing in digital assets via listed products. We are excited to list our innovative physical-backed staked Polkadot ETP in Switzerland and provide a wider audience with a means to further involve themselves in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.”
The listing comes after CoinShares announced its Q4 & preliminary full-year 2021 results, which were the strongest full-year & fourth quarter financial results in the Group’s history.
