Townsend Lansing, head of product at CoinShares commented “Transparency and trust are important considerations when selecting investment products, and our investors expect and deserve the best support possible. We are pleased to appoint Compass Financial as our independent calculation agent for XBT Provider, which we believe will provide investors with greater certainty and transparency as to the pricing for XBT Certificates.”

The XBT Provider line of products offers investors exposure to cryptocurrency via simple access to financial instruments listed on traditional, regulated securities exchanges. This suite of exchange traded products was created in a structure familiar to investors, allowing them to be bought and sold during trading hours alongside traditional securities. The appointment of Compass Financial is the latest in a series of improvements made to the platform in recent months aimed at increasing transparency and providing a more streamlined user experience for investors.

In September, CoinShares announced that investors would be able to take advantage of Armanino LLP‘s Real Time Assurance application, which allows on-demand, real-time reports on collateral holdings that follow top industry standards backed by a top 25 independent public accounting firm.

In August, the company also announced that the digital assets held to physically back the XBT Provider range of products would be safeguarded by Komainu, the first hybrid custodian for institutional digital asset investors created by the Japanese investment bank, Nomura, digital asset manager, CoinShares and digital asset security company, Ledger.
