CoinShares has launched its UCITS platform, entering the $30 trillion European institutional market with its first fund, the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining UCITS ETF, now trading on Deutsche Börse Xetra. The platform targets pension funds, insurers, and private banks, using the UCITS framework to enable institutional adoption of digital assets without debt restrictions. CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti said the firm plans to expand with additional digital asset strategies, framing the move as a key development in Bitcoin market news.

According to The Block, cryptocurrency asset manager CoinShares has officially launched its UCITS platform, alongside its first fund—the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining UCITS ETF—which began trading on Tuesday on the Deutsche Börse Xetra. The platform aims to tap into Europe’s €26.3 trillion (approximately $30 trillion) UCITS ecosystem, targeting major institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies, and private banks. CoinShares stated that the primary barrier preventing institutional entry had been product structure, as many institutions’ investment mandates restrict holdings in debt securities; the introduction of the UCITS framework effectively removes this limitation. Jean-Marie Mognetti, Co-Founder and CEO of the company, said this move marks CoinShares’ official entry into the UCITS market, with plans to continuously launch additional digital asset and thematic investment strategies in the future.
