With over $9 billion in assets under management, CoinShares continues to lead the way in delivering institutional-grade crypto investment solutions. This latest product brings together CoinShares’ deep experience in digital asset innovation with SEI’s high-speed, developer-friendly layer 1 blockchain infrastructure engineered to meet the performance demands of next-generation decentralized applications.
Meeting the Moment
The launch comes at a time when institutional interest in blockchain diversification is accelerating across Europe. Recognizing SEI as a standout player in the highly competitive layer 1 ecosystem, CoinShares identified a gap in the market for institutional access to the SEI network one that this new ETP is designed to fill.
SEI’s blockchain is built for speed, scalability, and simplicity making it an ideal infrastructure for digital asset trading at institutional scale. With this ETP, investors can now gain seamless, regulated exposure to the SEI token through traditional financial channels.

Backed by top VCs and trusted platforms, it’s the kind of blockchain that speaks their language.”
Solving Key Market Challenges
The CoinShares Physical SEI ETP directly addresses three major roadblocks that have traditionally kept institutions on the sidelines:
Access: Until now, institutional exposure to SEI meant navigating complex custody and infrastructure challenges. This ETP removes those barriers entirely.
Yield: With a built-in staking mechanism offering a 2% yield, investors benefit from automatic returns—without added complexity.
Regulatory Clarity: Listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, the product operates within a fully compliant, transparent regulatory framework.
Strategic Synergy
The partnership reflects a shared mission between CoinShares and Sei Labs: to bring institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure to global markets. CoinShares’ rigorous due diligence identified SEI as one of the rare technologies ready to meet the operational and compliance standards of professional investors.
“This launch solidifies CoinShares’ role as the institutional gateway to crypto innovation,” added Mognetti. “We’re not just offering exposure to SEI—we’re delivering a fully regulated, zero-fee, yield-generating product built for the future of digital finance.”
