New CoinShares SEI ETP Offers Staking Yield and Zero Fees for European Investors

CoinShares Debuts Zero-Fee SEI ETP With Staking Yield Across Europe

Digital asset manager CoinShares has launched a new exchange-traded product (ETP) offering institutional investors exposure to SEI, the native token of the Sei blockchain, with no management fees and a 2% annualized staking yield.

Listed under the ticker CSEI on the SIX Swiss Exchange, the physically backed product is the first regulated ETP offering direct access to SEI. The Sei network is a Layer-1 blockchain optimized for high-speed, low-latency trading—targeting applications in DeFi and real-time financial infrastructure.

CoinShares says the product is designed to reduce complexity for institutions, removing operational and custody hurdles previously associated with acquiring and staking SEI. The firm currently manages over $8 billion in digital assets and recently became the first European crypto manager to secure a MiCA license under the EU’s new crypto regulatory framework.

The CSEI ETP is available across CoinShares’ European footprint, thanks to passporting rights granted under its licenses.

While crypto ETPs are increasingly common in Europe—with 108 products managing €13.92 billion ($16.21 billion), according to JustETF—their uptake remains modest compared to the explosive growth of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock’s IBIT alone has amassed over $86 billion in assets, and total U.S. spot bitcoin ETF holdings have surpassed $151 billion, according to SoSoValue.
