CoinShares’ Capital Markets division reported gains and other income in Q1 of £6.7 million. During the past quarter the Capital Markets department has executed three strategic actions to mitigate risk and enhance due diligence: bolstering CoinShares’ counterparty controls and processes using internal expertise; pioneering professionalisation of the sector to reduce counterparty risks, including establishing proofs of concept with several exchanges and custodians for safer trading; and securing new banking partnerships to ensure smooth US dollar transactions in light of recent regulatory changes in the crypto market.
Jean-Marie Mognetti, Chief Executive Officer of CoinShares said:
“I’m pleased to announce that Q1 2023 has underscored CoinShares’ robust resilience and adaptability. The financial landscape has been riddled with obstacles this quarter, yet, CoinShares has emerged not just unscathed, but stronger. Looking ahead, I remain optimistic about our industry and CoinShares’ place within it.”
