GSR, a leading crypto investment firm, has taken an equity stake in Swiss-based Maverix Securities, a pioneer in structured investment solutions. This strategic investment formalizes a broader partnership aimed at developing innovative digital asset products tailored for institutional and professional investors.
The collaboration marks a significant stride in integrating traditional finance with the burgeoning digital asset ecosystem. GSR will leverage its expertise in digital asset liquidity and risk management to support Maverix’s launch of structured products linked to cryptocurrencies, alongside exchange-traded products (ETPs) listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
Together, the firms blend complementary capabilities: GSR’s deep digital asset market knowledge with Maverix’s strong regulatory track record and issuance experience. Their joint efforts aim to deliver compliant, value-driven investment solutions, subject to 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.”
David Schmid, Co-CEO of Maverix, added, “We see significant investor appetite for thoughtful, risk-managed exposure to digital assets. Partnering with GSR gives us access to world-class digital asset infrastructure and a network that will accelerate our product roadmap. We deliberately seek selective, high-quality collaborations that expand our ecosystem and support long-term innovation.”
The partnership will introduce a suite of institutional-grade offerings, including yield-enhancing structured products, bespoke crypto index strategies, institutional advisory and treasury services, and advanced derivatives and hedging tools. These products aim to meet the evolving demands of professional investors for compliant, risk-managed digital asset exposure.
As part of the agreement, Alain Kunz will join Maverix’s Board of Directors, strengthening strategic alignment and expediting product development and market launch. The initial wave of jointly developed products is expected to debut in the second half of 2025, targeting key global markets.
