CoinShares Achieves 116% Return on FTX Claim Sale

LUCKNOW (CoinChapter.com) — European digital asset investment firm CoinShares International has secured a 116% return on its FTX claim sale. The successful sale of CoinShares’ FTX claim has resulted in a windfall of 31.32 million British pounds ($39.78 million), surpassing the original claim value of 26.6 pounds. However, the agreement is still subject to its customary closing conditions.

Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO of CoinShares, expressed his views about the outcome, stating:

The resolution of the FTX situation has been highly favorable for CoinShares. This exceptional recovery rate is a testament to the diligence and expertise of our team.

The implications of this financial coup extend far beyond the immediate monetary gain. CoinShares plans to leverage this windfall to enhance shareholder returns. 

Moreover, the firm aims to reinvest in growth opportunities, which could lead to improved services and new offerings for its clients. 

We remain dedicated to leveraging this success to reward our shareholders and to drive further growth and innovation within the digital asset industry.

The press release writes.

CoinShares Overcoming Past Setbacks

This success story is particularly noteworthy given the company’s previous setbacks. In August 2022, CoinShares reported losses of $21.7 million due to its exposure to the collapsed Terra (LUNA) ecosystem. However, the company’s ability to bounce back with the FTX claim sale shows its effective strategic planning. Mognetti had already assured stakeholders that the company possessed “sufficient resources” to weather market turbulence.

In recent FTX-related news, BitFlyer, a Japanese crypto exchange, announced plans to acquire the Japanese arm of the now-defunct FTX exchange. BitFlyer intends to rebrand FTX Japan as “New Custody Company” initially, with plans to determine a permanent name in the future. The acquisition required substantial investment, with costs expected to run into billions of yen (tens of millions of dollars).
