Zürich – Maverix Securities, a Swiss-based innovator in structured investment solutions, has received an equity investment from GSR, a leading crypto investment firm. The investment cements a broader partnership between the two firms to collaborate on a new generation of digital asset products for institutional and professional investors. GSR is the longest-operating trading firm in crypto markets and the only liquidity provider with regulatory approvals from two globally recognized financial regulators.

This partnership represents a major step in bridging traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. GSR will support Maverix in launching structured products linked to digital assets, as well as the development and listing of exchange-traded products (ETPs) tied to leading cryptocurrencies.

GSR and Maverix combine complementary strengths that go far beyond operational collaboration. GSR’s expertise in digital asset liquidity and risk management, combined with Maverix’s issuance capabilities and proven track record in launching regulated investment products on the SIX Swiss Exchange, will help to deliver differentiated, compliant, and value-driven digital investment solutions. 

“We see increasing investor appetite for thoughtful, risk-managed exposure to digital assets,” said David Schmid, Co-CEO of Maverix. “Partnering with GSR gives us access to world-class digital asset infrastructure and a network that will be instrumental in accelerating our product roadmap. GSR also fits perfectly into our partner strategy — we deliberately seek selective, high-quality collaborations that expand our ecosystem and support long-term innovation.”

“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.”

The collaboration will deliver a range of institutional-grade products, including yield-enhancing structured solutions, customized crypto index strategies, institutional advisory and treasury services, and advanced derivatives and hedging tools. These offerings are designed to meet the evolving needs of professional investors seeking compliant, risk-managed exposure to digital assets. For more information, please visit www.mavx.com.

As part of the collaboration, Alain Kunz, Managing Director at GSR, will join the Board of Directors of Maverix, further strengthening strategic alignment and accelerating product development and go-to-market execution. The first wave of jointly developed products is expected to launch in the second half of 2025, targeting both financial intermediaries and institutional investors across key global markets.
