CoinShares joins as the first asset manager building onchain strategies on Railnet, our new yield infrastructure
< BlogWhen we started thinking about Railnet—our new orchestration layer for asset managers at Kiln—a few months ago, we had a clear conviction: the next wave of onchain finance would come from regulated asset managers bringing institutional discipline to onchain yield. Not just accessing DeFi, but combining it with real-world assets in a single, compliant framework.
Today, that conviction becomes real. CoinShares – the fourth-largest digital asset ETP manager globally and Europe's #1 – is live on Railnet with strategies spanning DeFi lending, institutional secured lending, and tokenized real-world assets.
The Infrastructure for Institutional Yield
Railnet orchestrates the full fund lifecycle underneath: deposit and redemption flows, NAV management, compliance controls, and transparent reporting. The asset manager focuses on strategy; the infrastructure handles the rest.
For every platform and allocator integrated with Kiln, this means CoinShares’ strategies will soon be available through the Kiln Dashboard and API.
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.
