European asset manager CoinShares is launching an educational initiative to inform Swedish investors about cryptocurrencies.
CoinShares is doubling down on educating Swedish investors about the crypto market in an effort to promote its Nordic product, CoinShares XBT Provider, the firm said in a Nov. 12 press release. The so-called “CoinShares Crypto Puppies” initiative aims to educate Swedish investors about “crypto’s benefits through positive associations.”
Created by the Swedish agency Save our Souls, the campaign leverages a unique cultural insight: Swedes’ profound love for dogs, CoinShares notes.
“By tapping into this deep-seated affinity, the campaign seeks to create an unexpected yet heartwarming connection with crypto and foster a more nuanced discussion.”
