Investment thesis
CoinShares frames its strategy around 'Hybrid Finance,' the convergence of traditional and digital finance built on-chain. It targets three areas: blockchain infrastructure and settlement layers that serve as the rails for digital value; protocols tokenising real-world assets such as treasuries, money markets, credit and equities into programmable on-chain instruments; and revenue-generating on-chain applications like exchanges, derivatives and lending platforms that produce measurable, auditable cash flows. The firm emphasises discipline over hype, favouring protocols with trackable on-chain revenue, value-accrual mechanisms and network effects, and sees Bitcoin's institutional adoption as the catalyst for a broader shift toward a fully on-chain financial system.
