CoinShares, a prominent European digital asset investment firm, has revealed its acquisition of Bastion Asset Management. This strategic move aims to fortify CoinShares' position in the US stock market for actively managed ETFs and enrich its product offerings.
The acquisition will see CoinShares incorporating Bastion's systematic trading strategies and expertise into its platform. This integration will enable CoinShares to provide sophisticated products that generate returns independent of market direction.
CoinShares also plans to go public in the US via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The firm is set to be valued at $1.2 billion following this move.
Through this acquisition, CoinShares bolsters its US stock market presence and broadens its product range. The integration of Bastion's trading strategies is expected to offer investors new opportunities in actively managed crypto investment products.
