CoinShares leverages Railnet to launch the first institutional-grade strategy bridging DeFi and RWAs.
March 16, 2026

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with CoinShares, Europe's largest digital asset investment firm. Together, we are launching a first-of-its-kind institutional-grade strategy that bridges the gap between DeFi yields and tokenized Real-World Assets.
This strategy is powered by Railnet, the operating layer for tokenized finance.
The Future of Asset Management is Onchain
For years, the industry has talked about "Hybrid Finance", the convergence of TradFi and DeFi. Today, CoinShares and Railnet are making it operational.
While most managers are limited to either crypto-native yields or traditional instruments, CoinShares is utilizing Railnet to manage sophisticated, multi-source strategies. This includes:
DeFi Lending Protocols: Tapping into native decentralized finance yields.
Institutional Secured Lending: Accessing professional credit markets.
Tokenized RWA: Capturing yields from tokenized bond funds and ETFs.
Delta-neutral strategies: yield generation through synthetic stablecoins
Why CoinShares chose Railnet?
Institutional-grade finance requires more than just connectivity; it requires verifiable trust and programmable constraints. Railnet provides the foundational infrastructure to bridge traditional finance with decentralized ecosystems keeping them constantly in sync. It’s not just about opening a door once — it’s about making sure both sides stay updated and work together perfectly.
Perspectives
"Onchain is not just a product; it’s a new distribution rail. With Railnet, we are operationalizing our hybrid finance thesis by accessing and structuring yield sources — spanning credit, liquidity, and secured financing—that were previously unreachable within a single framework." — Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-founder of CoinShares
"While DeFi excels at speed, durable wealth requires reflecting real-world constraints onchain. Railnet handles the complexity of settlement and financial time, allowing forward-thinking managers like CoinShares to focus on identifying value and managing risk." — Laszlo Szabo, CEO and Co-founder of Kiln and Railnet
The Railnet Advantage
Railnet serves as the orchestration layer that allows asset managers to:
Simplify Complexity: Treat fragmented yield sources as a single, manageable asset class.
Maintain Compliance: Navigate dual regulatory requirements (such as MiFID and MiCA) seamlessly.
Ensure Transparency: Provide a fully auditable framework for all onchain capital allocation.
Access New Distribution: Reach hundreds of allocators and distributors through our dashboard.
