CoinShares Acquires Valkyrie Funds: Expanding Reach into U.S. Market

CoinShares, the European asset manager, recently announced its decision to exercise its option to acquire Valkyrie Funds, the U.S.-based ETF business of Valkyrie Investments. This move comes on the heels of Valkyrie's launch of a spot Bitcoin ETF, the Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, which trades on Nasdaq under the BRRR ticker.

Market Performance Insights:

  • On its first day of trading, the BRRR Bitcoin ETF closed at $13.29, experiencing a slight decline of 1.8%.
  • Despite the promising launch, the trading volume of BRRR on the debut day was around $9 million, representing approximately 0.2% of the total volume of all 10 spot Bitcoin ETFs.
  • Major trading activities were observed on BlackRock's IBIT, Fidelity's FBTC, and Grayscale's GBTC, indicating strong competition in the market.

As the company navigates the competitive landscape of Bitcoin ETFs, it will be interesting to see how CoinShares leverages its expertise to establish a strong foothold in the U.S. market alongside established players.
