About Us

The Coinsolation Project is set to launch Africa’s first spot Bitcoin ETF, providing investors across the continent with seamless access to this globally recognized asset class. By offering protection against currency erosion and unlocking the potential for significant returns, the ETF empowers African investors to diversify their portfolios in alignment with the expanding global adoption of Bitcoin ETFs.

The spot Bitcoin ETF will provide investors on Africa’s exchanges with an opportunity to invest in the digital asset. This initiative aligns with global interest in Bitcoin as a financial instrument traded on traditional exchanges. Globally, there are now more than thirty spot Bitcoin ETFs trading in markets including US, Canada, Brazil, Hong Kong and Germany​.

Bitcoin is the best performing digital asset of the past decade. Unlike other digital assets, Bitcoin is widely regarded by many global authorities as a commodity, not a security. This distinction offers greater regulatory clarity, broader acceptance, and a reliable store-of-value function like gold.

Exposure to a spot Bitcoin ETF will provide investors on Africa’s exchanges with portfolio diversification, protection against currency depreciation, global market access, financial inclusion, and potential higher returns.

The ETF will be co-listed across key African exchanges. For example, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) hosts a gold ETF, and has co-listed securities with exchanges in Nigeria, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Mauritius.

The ETF will adhere to international compliance, regulatory, and custody standards, ensuring secure and transparent access to this premier digital asset. As a private entity, it will operate independently of government control, like other publicly listed asset-holding companies.

Fees will align with the precedent set by the spot Bitcoin ETF around the world, adjusted for unique market and operational challenges in Africa. Fees can be collected in Bitcoin to simplify transactions and align interests with market performance.

The project is currently in the Concept Definition Stage, building reference classes (after Kahneman & Tversky, 1979) based on globally listed spot Bitcoin ETFs and Africa-listed gold ETFs, and assessing listing requirements across the continent.

The project is currently a non-profit initiative with the prime objective of facilitating the setup of the ETF. It will explore a range of options, from co-listing existing ETFs to founding, operating, and listing a new ETF.

If the project determines to move forward, a Planning Team will be assembled to approach existing ETFs and propose a pathway to listing.
