CoinShares’ Capital Markets division “reported gains and other income in Q1 of £6.7 million. During the past quarter the Capital Markets department has executed three strategic actions to mitigate risk and enhance due diligence: bolstering our counterparty controls and processes using internal expertise; pioneering professionalization of the sector to reduce counterparty risks, including establishing proofs of concept with several exchanges and custodians for safer trading; and securing new banking partnerships to ensure smooth US dollar transactions in light of recent regulatory changes in the crypto market.”

These efforts have “been instrumental in delivering performance over Q1.”

As covered, CoinShares claims it is “the European leading alternative asset manager specialising in digital assets, that delivers a broad range of financial services across investment management, trading and securities to a wide array of clients that includes corporations, financial institutions and individuals.”
