Digital Asset Manager CoinShares Hires US Team as Crypto Markets Mature

CoinShares International, the Jersey-based digital asset investment firm managing $8 billion in assets, has appointed Calvin Tintle as Senior Manager of National Accounts and Distribution, signalling an intensified push into the US market following recent regulatory developments.

The appointment comes as institutional interest in digital assets grows after US regulators approved the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) earlier this month. This regulatory shift, combined with the current administration's more supportive stance on cryptocurrency innovation, has created new opportunities for established digital asset managers.

Tintle joins from ProShares, where he worked with major wealth management platforms as Senior Manager for National Accounts. His appointment follows CoinShares' acquisition of Valkyrie, demonstrating the company's commitment to replicating its European success in the US market.

Calvin Tintle, Coinshares new Senior Manager of National Accounts and Distribution, said,  "I am thrilled to join CoinShares, a true pioneer in the digital asset investment space. The company's track record of innovation and institutional approach in Europe is impressive, and I look forward to contributing to building similar success in the U.S. market, particularly as we see unprecedented opportunities in this evolving regulatory environment."

Frank Spiteri, Head of Asset Management at CoinShares, said: "Calvin's appointment demonstrates our strong commitment to expanding our footprint in the United States. We view the U.S. market as a crucial growth lever for CoinShares, and by bringing Calvin on board, we are reinforcing our sales capabilities with the same measured, institutional approach that has proven successful in Europe. Our strategy focuses on developing cutting-edge crypto-adjacent products that leverage our deep digital asset expertise and research capabilities combined with our proven track record in active asset management and equity ETF operations."

CoinShares, which is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and trades on the US OTCQX market, operates under regulatory oversight in Jersey, France, and the United States. The company has been active in digital assets since 2013 and maintains offices across Europe and the US.
