Strategy

In 2023, our strategic focus on innovation and expansion reinforced our leadership in the digital asset space through strategic acquisitions, partnerships, and product diversification. Looking ahead to 2024, our strategy encompasses enhancing our presence in Europe by extending the XBT Provider product line and increasing market penetration through targeted marketing and a strategic rebranding aligned with the CoinShares mother brand. We are also expanding our footprint in the European markets like France and Italy, emphasising competitive management fees and transparent staking rewards. Globally, our acquisition of Valkyrie’s U.S. ETF business marks a significant step in entering the U.S. market, aiming to introduce sophisticated products such as the WGMI ETF and the BTFX. This expansion is coupled with a focus on creating advanced financial products that blend the sophistication of hedge funds with the accessibility of ETFs, leveraging our deep expertise in digital assets. Additionally, the introduction of Hedge Fund Solutions aims to establish a trusted presence in the U.S., and we are enhancing our proprietary trading platform to improve operational efficiency and risk management, anticipating a transformative 2024 with these initiatives.
