Europe’s leading digital asset manager delivers institutional access to TON, the blockchain powering Telegram’s 900+ million users
CoinShares International Limited, with an announced merger with Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp , a global leading asset manager specialising in digital assets with over $10 billion in assets under management, launched the CoinShares Physical Staked Toncoin (Ticker: CTON, ISIN: GB00BVBM1L91) – a regulated exchange-traded product offering exposure to TON (The Open Network), the high-performance blockchain integrated with Telegram’s global ecosystem.
This launch combines CoinShares’ proven track record of delivering institutional-grade digital asset innovations with TON’s unique infrastructure that bridges on-chain technology with real-world adoption at unprecedented scale.
Strategic Timing Meets Mass Market Reality
As European institutional appetite for diversified blockchain exposure accelerates, CoinShares has identified Toncoin as a compelling opportunity within the layer 1 landscape. TON’s integration with Telegram provides a differentiated value proposition: established infrastructure supporting a significant user base through one of the world’s largest communication platforms.
With Telegram’s 900+ million active users and TON’s high-performance capabilities of over 104,000 transactions per second, the blockchain combines technical performance with existing market reach.

“TON represents an interesting development in blockchain infrastructure, a layer 1 that’s already integrated with Telegram’s substantial user base, supporting real applications and payments. This aligns perfectly with our hybrid finance investment thesis: identifying projects where blockchain technology integrates with established platforms and real-world use cases, bridging the gap between traditional digital services and decentralized infrastructure. We’re focused on providing our clients with access to blockchain projects that demonstrate practical utility alongside technical innovation,” commented Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinShares.
Toncoin is already part of the CoinShares Altcoins ETF (Ticker: DIME) in the United States, illustrating CoinShares’ continued interest in supporting innovative blockchain ecosystems. This new European ETP extends that exposure to European investors and integrates direct staking rewards.
