The award recognises\nCoinShares as the winner of the category. Finimize is a global financial-media\nand information business that runs a large community of active retail\ninvestors, delivering bite-sized market news, research and educational\ncontent.\n\nThe Finimize Awards are decided by votes from the Finimize community of retail\ninvestors, not by an expert panel and not by the firms that enter. They are\nstructured, weighted and fully independent, with no pay-to-play. The 2026\nedition drew 1,106 responses collected between February and April 2026, with\neach respondent rating the platforms and products they had direct experience\nwith across a defined set of criteria. The award for Best Crypto Investment\nProduct was decided by votes from UK retail investors within the global\nFinimize community.\n\nCoinShares earned the top spot by leading the field on the measures that\nmatter most to individual investors: trust, the quality of its educational\ncontent, and how its products performed relative to expectations.\n\nBuilt for the individual investor, as European access opens up\n\nThe receipt of this award comes just as direct retail access to digital assets\nis being unlocked across Europe. The MiCA regime is establishing a single\nregulated European market, and the routes through which individual investors\ncan hold regulated, convenient crypto exposure, principally crypto\nexchange-traded notes (ETNs), are widening market by market. Regulators are\nnow going further: European authorities are reviewing whether digital assets\ncould be held within UCITS funds, the framework that defines mainstream\nEuropean retail investing and that held around €15 trillion in net assets at\nthe end of 2025(1). Admitting digital assets to that framework, even at a\ncapped weighting, would connect them to the largest pool of regulated retail\ncapital in Europe. Finimize data indicates that around one in five investors\nare looking to exchange-traded products for their bitcoin exposure. As each\naccess barrier falls, the firms positioned to capture the inflows are the\nincumbents retail already trusts, which this award confirms CoinShares is.\n\nCoinShares has built its European ETP range for exactly this audience:\nregulated, exchange-listed products that let an individual size and monitor a\ndigital asset position inside the same framework as the rest of a portfolio.\nThe Company has focused on digital assets since 2013 and operates one of the\nlongest-established regulated crypto product ranges in Europe.\n\nEducation as the differentiator\n\nWhat set CoinShares apart in the vote was trust earned through education. In a\nmarket where trust is often hard-won, the Company's sustained investment in\nhigh-quality research and educational content — explaining how digital\nassets work and how they fit within a managed portfolio — is what investors\nsingled out. This is the core of how CoinShares competes for the individual\ninvestor: not by chasing the lowest headline fee, but by helping people\nunderstand what they own and why.\n\nThat approach is difficult to replicate, and it is what makes CoinShares\ndistinctive as the European retail market grows.\n\nCEO commentary\n\nJean-Marie Mognetti, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of\nCoinShares, said:\n\n\"This award means more than most because it wasn't decided by a judging panel.\nIt was decided by the people who matter most to us: our investors. They told\nFinimize they trust us. That our research helps them understand what they own.\nAnd that our products have done what we promised they would do. That is the\nfranchise we have been building since 2013. Retail access to digital assets is\nonly just beginning across Europe. In the long run, the firms that succeed\nwon't be the ones that shout the loudest, but the ones that earn trust by\neducating investors, managing risk responsibly and consistently delivering on\ntheir promises. That is how we intend to keep growing, one investor at a\ntime.\"\n\nAbout CoinShares\n\nCoinShares is a leading global asset manager specialising in digital assets,\nthat delivers a broad range of financial services across investment\nmanagement, trading and securities to a wide array of clients that includes\ncorporations, financial institutions and individuals.
