coinIX

A listed holding company for digital assets

coinIX, formally coinIX GmbH & Co. KGaA, is a German holding company based in Hamburg whose business is putting money into digital assets and blockchain projects. It offers a conventional route into a new field: buying its share is, in its words, a simple, secure and effective route for investors who want exposure to decentralised technology as it grows, without holding crypto directly. Its website works in German and English and covers news, the portfolio and investor relations.

Three ways of investing

The company reports more than 40 investments, sorted into three categories. It buys tokens through private sales, takes part through simple agreements for future tokens (SAFT), and joins private sale rounds run by other projects.

Investments announced in 2022

Its press releases in 2022 describe a run of stakes in Web3 and decentralised finance companies. In April it backed Florence Finance, a protocol that lets financing platforms for small and mid-sized businesses obtain liquidity from decentralised finance through crypto loans. In July it invested in peaq, a blockchain-based Web3 network that advances the Economy of Things. In September it backed DEFYCA, a Luxembourg company building a bridge between decentralised and traditional finance, which lets investors reach bonds and credit portfolios through tokenised assets. In October came Damex, which develops a crypto banking app with move-to-earn features that lets users manage all their digital assets in one place. In November it supported Beamer, a bridge limited to the Ethereum layer-2 ecosystem that aims at a better user experience than conventional or native bridges. Earlier, in March, it invested in Your Open Metaverse, which lets companies and artists present themselves online with a metaverse of their own.
