The CoinShares trading venue change comes amid the current crisis in the cryptocurrency market, which was triggered by the failure of crypto exchange FTX.
As previously reported, CoinShares was not significantly impacted by the FTX contagion due to the company’s limited exposure to the FTX exchange. CoinShares said its total exposure to FTX was $31.5 million, ensuring the company’s finances remain strong.
