Q: How much of CoinShares' physical inflows are from existing markets versus new geographies? A: Our European market is primarily focused on European customers, with a strong concentration of investors in Stockholm and Milan. The distribution of our products is spread throughout Europe.
Q: What can CoinShares do to capitalize on the US crypto market besides listing? A: Listing in the US has been a long-term commitment for us. The US regulatory environment is becoming more open to crypto, and we are hopeful to execute on our mission to list there.
Q: How has CoinShares' staking income held up despite falling Ethereum prices and yields? A: Staking income has declined approximately 20% from $7.3 million in Q4 2024 to $5.6 million in Q1 2025. The decline is largely equivalent to the price movement of Ethereum over the quarter.
Q: What is the typical loan book size and maturity for CoinShares? A: The total amount of outstanding loans at the end of Q1 was approximately $100 million, with 4 or 5 counterparties. Loans are typically short-term and can be recalled on demand to adhere to our risk framework.
Q: How does CoinShares view the competition in the European markets, and has it changed your strategy? A: We focus on our own execution rather than worrying about competitors. We continue to concentrate on our own affairs and execution strategies.
