CoinShares International has launched the CoinShares Physical Staked SEI (Ticker: CSEI, ISIN: GB00BSLNZT73), described as the world’s first zero fee ETP offering regulated exposure to SEI’s high-performance blockchain infrastructure.
The firm writes that the launch combines CoinShares’ proven track record of delivering institutional-grade digital asset innovations with SEI’s layer 1 technology engineered to power the next generation of decentralised applications.
CoinShares writes that as European institutional appetite for diversified blockchain exposure accelerates, it has identified SEI as a standout performer in the competitive layer 1 landscape.
SEI is designed to combine scalability, speed, and developer simplicity into one high-performance chain, providing industry leading infrastructure for digital asset trading with institutional-grade performance, the firm says.
“We don’t just follow trends – we identify the crypto technologies that will define the future of digital finance. SEI represents exactly what institutional investors have been waiting for: a blockchain that speaks their language of performance, reliability, and scale, backed by top-tier VCs and leading platforms,” says Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinShares
CoinShares writes that the launch addresses three critical market gaps:
Institutional Access Barrier: Previously, gaining exposure to SEI required navigating complex custody and operational challenges. The CoinShares Physical SEI ETP eliminates these friction points entirely.
Yield Generation: In today’s competitive investment landscape, the ETP’s integrated staking mechanism delivers 2 per cent additional returns to investors automatically – with zero management fees.
Regulatory Certainty: Available on SIX Exchange with full regulatory compliance.
This launch represents the strategic alignment of two institution-focused organisations, the firm writes, adding that CoinShares’ rigorous due diligence process identified SEI as a rare combination of technological superiority and institutional readiness.
“This launch reinforces CoinShares’ position as the institutional gateway to digital asset innovation. We’re not just offering exposure to SEI – we’re delivering institutional-grade access to the future of high-performance blockchain infrastructure, with unique cost-effectiveness,” says Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinShares.
Jay Jog, Co-Founder of Sei Labs, says: “We’re honoured that CoinShares has chosen to launch the world’s first SEI ETP. CoinShares has been instrumental in bridging the gap between institutional capital and crypto innovation, and this partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure. The Sei network is uniquely positioned to meet the performance demands of sophisticated financial markets, and through CoinShares’ proven platform, institutional investors can now access this next-generation infrastructure with the reliability and regulatory certainty they require.”
