CoinShares Launches SEI ETP with Zero Management Fees and 2% Staking Yield
Europe's leading digital asset manager delivers institutional access to SEI, a breakthrough layer 1 blockchain with staking rewards
29 July 2025 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited ("CoinShares" or "the Group") (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF), the European leading investment company specialising in digital assets with over $9 billion in assets under management, today launched the CoinShares Physical Staked SEI (Ticker: CSEI, ISIN: GB00BSLNZT73) – the world's first zero fee exchange-traded product offering regulated exposure to SEI's high-performance blockchain infrastructure.
This launch combines CoinShares' proven track record of delivering institutional-grade digital asset innovations with SEI's layer 1 technology engineered to power the next generation of decentralized applications.
Strategic Timing Meets Market Demand
As European institutional appetite for diversified blockchain exposure accelerates, CoinShares has identified SEI as a standout performer in the competitive layer 1 landscape. SEI is designed to combine scalability, speed, and developer simplicity into one high-performance chain, providing industry leading infrastructure for digital asset trading with institutional-grade performance.
"We don't just follow trends – we identify the crypto technologies that will define the future of digital finance. SEI represents exactly what institutional investors have been waiting for: a blockchain that speaks their language of performance, reliability, and scale, backed by top-tier VCs and leading platforms." commented Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinShares
Three Critical Market Problems Solved
The launch addresses three critical market gaps:
- Institutional Access Barrier: Previously, gaining exposure to SEI required navigating complex custody and operational challenges. The CoinShares Physical SEI ETP eliminates these friction points entirely.
- Yield Generation: In today's competitive investment landscape, the ETP's integrated staking mechanism delivers 2% additional returns to investors automatically – with zero management fees.
- Regulatory Certainty: Available on SIX exchange with full regulatory compliance.
The Perfect Partnership
This launch represents the strategic alignment of two institution-focused organisations. CoinShares' rigorous due diligence process identified SEI as a rare combination of technological superiority and institutional readiness.
"This launch reinforces CoinShares' position as the institutional gateway to digital asset innovation. We're not just offering exposure to SEI – we're delivering institutional-grade access to the future of high-performance blockchain infrastructure, with unique cost-effectiveness." – Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinShares
Jay Jog, Co-Founder of Sei Labs, commented, "We're honored that CoinShares has chosen to launch the world's first SEI ETP. CoinShares has been instrumental in bridging the gap between institutional capital and crypto innovation, and this partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure. The Sei network is uniquely positioned to meet the performance demands of sophisticated financial markets, and through CoinShares' proven platform, institutional investors can now access this next-generation infrastructure with the reliability and regulatory certainty they require."
