(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) 14th January 2025 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey-CoinShares International Limited ("CoinShares" or the "Company") (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF) , Europe's leading digital asset investment firm, today announced a reduction in the management fees for its flagship CoinShares Physical bitcoin ETP (ticker: BITC; ISIN: GB00BLD4ZL17) from 0.35% to 0.25%. This strategic move, effective immediately, reinforces BITC's position as Europe's largest Bitcoin physical exchange-traded product (ETP) by assets under management (AUM) and aligns the fee structure with the Company's US-listed CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF (NASDAQ: BRRR).
