General Manager of Napoleon Group, JC Dude, commented on the deal. He noted that Napoleon Group is happy to associate with Europe’s most active crypto traders communities via its integration into CoinShares. The acquisition will enable the firm to accelerate the growth of its platform, ensuring scalability in products and processes, JC Dude noted.
Coinshares Building A Strong Crypto Community
CoinShares has been very busy in the market lately. Earlier this month, the platform received approval for its application to start trading on OTCQX Market in the US.
Chief Executive Officer of Coinshares, Jean-Marie Mognetti, also commented on the acquisition deal.
“Crypto is about community, and over the last seven years, CoinShares has built a fantastic one,” she stated.
Mognetti added that the company needs to keep developing its ability to distribute its research, products, and expertise directly to clients through the most appropriate channel. With the integration of Napoleon to the Coinshares platform, clients can link their exchange account to the thematic algorithm platform, baskets, and trading strategies. These are designed to provide a better risk-adjusted benefit according to the customer selected risk profile.
