KR1, a crypto staking and investment firm founded in 2014 and based on the Isle of Man, is preparing to transfer its listing from Aquis to the London Stock Exchange main market next month, co‑founder Keld Van Schreven told the Financial Times. The company has a market capitalization of about $75 million (≈£56 million) and has completed over 100 digital asset investments.
The move follows UK regulators adopting a more lenient stance on crypto and easing proposed stablecoin limits for institutions, and Van Schreven calls the shift “a starter gun for this new asset class on the LSE.” KR1 is doubling down on staking revenue from assets such as Ether and Polkadot, and the listing is available where permitted by UK jurisdictional rules.
