British cryptocurrency investment company KR1 plc is set to move its shares from the Aquis Stock Exchange to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) main market, according to a report by the Financial Times, citing Managing Director and Co-founder Keld van Schreven.
Van Schreven said the company made several changes to comply with the LSE’s stricter listing requirements, including the addition of new board members and the appointment of an external auditor. He described the shift as significant, calling KR1 the “first authentic digital asset company going on the LSE that’s not just pure play financial engineering.”
Founded in 2016, KR1 invests in blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects and earns revenue by staking tokens such as Ethereum and Polkadot. Its shares currently trade on the Aquis Exchange in London and are also listed in Germany under the ticker K4H on the Stuttgart exchange.
The move marks an important milestone for the digital asset ecosystem, signaling growing institutional acceptance of crypto-focused firms in mainstream capital markets.
