CoinShares has been quite active in scaling their operations and has reported having raised £17.5 M in Q1 asset management.
CoinShares, which is Europe’s biggest digital asset investment firm, is all prepared to purchase the ETF index business of Elwood Technologies. CoinShares will be making this purchase at a market price of $17 million.
Elwood Tech through this platform had partnered with Invesco and had facilitated a launch of Invesco Elwood Global Blockchain Equity (the Invesco Blockchain ETF), which provides access to international companies who wish to generate revenue using blockchain technology.
Elwood Tech had been a promising ETF Contender and had managed to raise US$ 1 billion since its inception in 2019. The company has managed to build a reputation of providing the best equity research team to major digital asset firms apart from conducting their usual ETF procedural processes.

The acquisition further assures that it would not affect Elwood Tech’s Index Business hierarchy and will ensure that the business runs its conventional course and continues with the publishing of research related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
