Napoleon enables self-directed investors to expand their crypto investing experience by offering a suite of pre-built portfolios and strategies that cater to different investment objectives. The platform is seamlessly integrated with crypto exchanges like Binance, Bitfinex, Bitmex, FTX and Bitstamp, and is non-custodial, meaning users retain complete control over their funds while deploying algorithmic strategies and allocation models. Since its inception in 2017, Napoleon has established a strong foothold among the French investment community and has been looking to expand globally its consumer platform.
Under CoinShares’ ownership, Napoleon will continue to double down on building a vibrant investment community and delivering actionable insights. This community will join a larger social community that CoinShares has been working to build over the past seven years; a community focused on trading a wide variety of assets in a broad range of markets while optimizing for a variety of portfolio objectives including risk management, yield generation, and portfolio diversification.
Upon completion (expected in the second week of December) all of Napoleon’s team and assets will become part of CoinShares, and benefit from the scale and size of CoinShares’ broader outreach. At this point in time, there will be no changes to Napoleon’s day to day management and product offerings.
Napoleon Group GM JC Dudek commented “Napoleon Group is proud to have built one of Europe’s most active crypto trader communities. This transaction will enable us to focus on accelerating our platform growth and client acquisition. We are very excited to join CoinShares and their broader ecosystem of partners to keep scaling.”

CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti noted “Crypto is about community, and over the last seven years, CoinShares has built a fantastic one. As we continue to grow, it is increasingly important for us to keep developing our ability to distribute our research, expertise, and products directly to our clients via the most appropriate channel. Today, Napoleon offers crypto exchange clients the capabilities to hook their exchange account to our platform of thematic algorithmic trading strategies and baskets designed to offer better risk adjusted return based on customer selected risk profile.
