GSR, a leading crypto investment firm, has made an equity investment in Maverix Securities, a Swiss-based innovator in structured investment solutions. The investment cements a broader partnership between the two firms to collaborate on a new generation of digital asset products for institutional and professional investors.
This partnership represents a major step in bridging traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. GSR will support Maverix in launching structured products linked to digital assets, as well as the development and listing of exchange-traded products (ETPs) tied to leading cryptocurrencies.
GSR and Maverix combine complementary strengths that go far beyond operational collaboration. GSR’s expertise in digital asset liquidity and risk management, combined with Maverix’s issuance capabilities and proven track record in launching regulated investment products on the SIX Swiss Exchange, will help to deliver differentiated, compliant, and value-driven digital investment solutions. All offerings will be subject to any applicable jurisdictional regulatory approvals and investor suitability standards.
“We’re excited to join forces with Maverix to deliver digital asset solutions that combine the precision of traditional financial engineering with the transformative potential of blockchain-based assets,” said Alain Kunz, Managing Director at GSR. “This partnership reflects a strong alignment between Maverix’s excellence in structured product design and our strengths in digital asset liquidity and risk management.”
“We see significant investor appetite for thoughtful, risk-managed exposure to digital assets,” said David Schmid, Co-CEO of Maverix. “Partnering with GSR gives us access to world-class digital asset infrastructure and a network that will be instrumental in accelerating our product roadmap. GSR also fits perfectly into our partner strategy — we deliberately seek selective, high-quality collaborations that expand our ecosystem and support long-term innovation.”
The collaboration will deliver a range of institutional-grade products, including yield-enhancing structured solutions, customized crypto index strategies, institutional advisory and treasury services, and advanced derivatives and hedging tools. Subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, these offerings are designed to meet the evolving needs of professional investors seeking compliant, risk-managed exposure to digital assets.
