- CoinShares launched a Staked SEI ETP in Europe with 0% management fees and 2% annual staking yield.
- The ETP offers fully backed 1:1 exposure to SEI, with staking rewards auto-compounded daily for investors.
CoinShares, a European-based crypto investment firm, has launched a new ETP (Exchange Traded Product) for the SEI token—and what’s striking is that it offers a 2% annual staking return, with no management fees.
The product, called CoinShares Physical Staked SEI, has been officially listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since July 29th and has immediately caught the attention of many investors looking to gain exposure to layer-1 assets without the hassle of managing validators or personal wallets.
This ETP is designed so that each unit is fully backed by SEI tokens at a 1:1 ratio. This means it’s not a derivative or speculative product. Investors can passively enjoy the benefits of staking SEI, and the rewards are automatically added to their assets’ value daily.
So there’s no need to click around or fiddle with the staking interface—everything is automated and transparent. Even more impressive, this zero management fee policy is effective from launch and will remain in effect until CoinShares states otherwise.
CoinShares has launched a Staked Sei ETP in Europe.
As the EU’s first MiCA-compliant asset manager, @CoinSharesCo is bringing regulated exposure to Sei, making it more accessible to institutions and traditional participants across Europe.

Amid the growing trend of crypto-based ETP products, CoinShares appears to want to stand out by offering concrete added value: staking returns, not just price exposure. Legally, this product is marketed through official channels that comply with European Union regulations, such as MiFID and MiCA.
So, for retail and institutional investors who have previously avoided staking due to technical complexity or security concerns, this ETP could be a practical solution.
Sei Network Powers Up with AI, Chainlink, and Native USDC
The launch of this ETP is also inseparable from the rapid development of the Sei Network. In early July, as we highlighted, Sei integrated Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol. This integration allows AI agents like Claude, Windsurf, and Cursor to read blockchain data directly from the Sei network and then execute transactions autonomously. Yes, you read that right—real AI can take direct action on the blockchain through a standard interface.
Then, in mid-July, Sei again attracted attention by partnering with Chainlink. Through integration with Chainlink CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol), Sei opens the door to fast and secure cross-chain asset transfers. CCIP technology itself is widely recognized among institutions and has secured over US$18 trillion in on-chain transactions. Now, all of this is available on Sei’s ultra-fast network.
And recently, CNF reported that Sei now also supports native USDC, issued directly by Circle. The latest version of CCIP enables seamless USDC transfers between 13 blockchains, without the need for bridges and without price slippage. For active users, this is clearly a major upgrade in terms of liquidity and security.
As of the writing time, SEI is trading at about $0.3110, down 5.98% over the last 24 hours with a $1.79 million market cap.
SEI ETP Offers Easy Yield, But Not Without Risks
Given all these developments, CoinShares’ decision to launch an SEI-based ETP makes even more sense. SEI is no longer a small, fledgling project. They are moving quickly, partnering with major partners, and building a significant infrastructure. CoinShares, known for its selective selection of underlying assets for its products, seems to see a long-term opportunity here.
Not only that, with the practical ETP model, investors don’t need to bother with manual staking, choosing a validator, or worry about the risk of slashing. Simply purchase the ETP, hold it with your chosen broker, and let the returns flow slowly. Perfect for those who want to profit while remaining relaxed.
However, there are still things to be wary of. The value of this ETP fluctuates according to the SEI price in the market. So, even though it offers a 2% yield, token price fluctuations can still affect total returns. And while it’s currently fee-free, there’s no guarantee that this policy will last.
