European Investors Get Access to Zero-Fee SEI ETP With Staking Yield via CoinShares

CoinShares Launches Europe-Wide Zero-Fee SEI ETP With Staking Rewards

CoinShares has introduced a new exchange-traded product (ETP) offering exposure to SEI, the native token of the Sei blockchain, with zero management fees and an annual 2% staking yield. The ETP, trading under the ticker CSEI, is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

As the first regulated investment product providing direct access to SEI, the ETP is backed 1:1 with SEI tokens and is designed to appeal to institutional investors. CoinShares, which oversees more than $8 billion in digital assets, says the offering removes technical barriers such as custody complexity and staking setup.

SEI is a Layer-1 blockchain optimized for high-throughput and low-latency trading applications, making it a target for institutional interest.

The launch follows CoinShares’ recent milestone as the first crypto asset manager in Europe to receive regulatory approval under the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework. The CSEI ETP benefits from regulatory passporting across the firm’s European footprint.

While Europe has seen the launch of over 100 crypto ETPs—managing €13.92 billion ($16.21 billion) in total assets according to JustETF—these products have yet to see adoption levels comparable to the U.S. market. For reference, BlackRock’s IBIT alone manages over $86 billion, with all spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. now holding more than $151 billion, according to SoSoValue.
