Crypto Asset Manager CoinShares Announces US IPO With $1.2 Billion Merger

2025/09/09 12:00

CoinShares, a European-based crypto asset manager, has announced its intention to go public in the United States through a merger with Vine Hill Capital Investments, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). 

In a press release on Monday, CoinShares announced its plan, which will see the company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. This marks a key step in the firm’s expansion for US investors, following key regulatory breakthroughs in the country for digital assets.

CoinShares’ Expansion Into American Markets

The merger, formalized through a definitive business combination agreement, values CoinShares at approximately $1.2 billion on a pro-forma basis, positioning the company among the largest publicly traded digital asset managers. 

This transaction is expected to accelerate CoinShares’ international growth, particularly in the US market, which is increasingly recognized as a key hub for digital assets under President Donald Trump’s administration.

Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinShares stated that the move is not merely a change of listing venue from Sweden to the United States but a significant step toward achieving global leadership in the digital asset space. 

By establishing a presence in the US, CoinShares aims to meet the rising demand from investors and leverage its experience to introduce a new suite of products tailored for American clients. Mognetti concluded by stating: 

Countdown To Q4 End

CoinShares has established itself as a key player in the digital asset management space, currently ranking as the fourth-largest manager of digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) globally. 

With around $10 billion in assets under management (AuM) — a figure that has tripled over the past two years — the company boasts a product offering that has expanded from four products in 2021 to a suite of 32 across various platforms. 

The company’s operating model is designed for scalability, featuring a diverse array of products such as crypto ETPs for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana SOL), alongside equity products targeting the broader digital asset ecosystem. 

Both CoinShares and Vine Hill’s boards of directors have unanimously approved the business combination, which is anticipated to close by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Audrey Tang: Infrastructure has been gradually improved, and Ethereum should focus on application implementation in the next ten years

PANews reported on October 22nd that at the ETHShanghai 2025 main forum, Audrey Tang, founder of the Ethereum Application Alliance (in preparation)/Shanhaiwu, introduced that Shanhaiwu aims to create a cross-disciplinary, pop-up builder village, bringing together technology developers, AI researchers, organizational behavior experts, and governance practitioners. This community aims to promote Ethereum innovation through resource connectivity, educational systems, and a cross-disciplinary ecosystem. This month-long intensive construction project, held annually at a fixed location, fosters exchange between Eastern and Western blockchain communities, fosters real-world application scenarios, helps startups move from prototyping to market maturity, and enhances the influence of the Chinese-speaking community in the global Ethereum ecosystem. Audrey Tang also stated that while the Ethereum ecosystem has gradually improved its infrastructure, it still faces challenges in application deployment and community sustainability. Over the past three years, we have promoted ecosystem development through community education, developer support, and public open source projects. However, overall business density remains underdeveloped, with most communities still relying on donations for operations and developers lacking experience in fundraising, commercialization, and team management. The Application Alliance, a non-profit organization operating as an MPO (Public Goods Organization), aims to bring together the strengths of communities, foundations, institutions, and businesses through structured financing and a global membership system to establish a long-term, sustainable funding pool to support public goods development, open source tool development, and global application experimentation. The Alliance not only provides support for startups from ideation to market implementation, but also promotes the real-world implementation and implementation of emerging applications through education and training, developer community building, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The Alliance aims to foster a sustainable and impactful Ethereum application ecosystem and accelerate the blockchain's transition from infrastructure development to application prosperity. She concluded by emphasizing that after completing infrastructure development, Ethereum should focus on application deployment in the next decade.
