The firm aims to democratize access to digital assets by offering a broad spectrum of products that cater to various investor interests. The new ETPs provide investors with a regulated gateway to innovative blockchain ecosystems, which include high-speed Layer 1 blockchain, AI integration, decentralized storage, and cutting-edge DeFi solutions. Johan Wattenström, co-founder of Valour, emphasized the significance of this expansion, stating , “By simultaneously introducing such a diverse range of innovative products, we are not merely expanding our portfolio — we are offering investors access to the forefront of blockchain technology.” The newly listed ETPs cover a wide array of digital assets, including Aave (AAVE), Aerodrome Finance (AERO), Akash Network (AKT), Aptos (APT), Arweave (AR), Fetch.ai (FET), Fantom (FTM), Injective (INJ), Jupiter (JUP), Kaspa (KAS), Lido DAO (LDO), Metis (METIS), Pendle (PENDLE), Pyth Network (PYTH), Render (RNDR), Sei (SEI), Starknet (STRK), THORChain (RUNE), Worldcoin (WLD), and Wormhole (W). Valour’s Global Crypto Expansion: From Sweden to Africa and Beyond Spotlight made its debut in the ETP space in June with offerings including Valour’s Core (CORE) and Hedera (HBAR). Many of the ETPs available on Spotlight are managed by third-party operators. The company has been at the forefront of innovation, launching the first Dogecoin (DOGE) ETP in November. This product began trading on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market, allowing both retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to Dogecoin in a regulated fund wrapper. Spotlight is one of Sweden’s three stock exchanges, alongside Nasdaq Nordic and Nordic Growth Market. In October, Valour moved 19 of its ETPs from the Nordic Growth Market to Spotlight, consolidating its offerings onto a single platform. Valour’s product range also includes a physically backed Ethereum staking ETP, introduced on the London Stock Exchange in September. This ETP provides institutional investors with passive, non-leveraged exposure to Ethereum (ETH) while earning staking rewards. Valour is now expanding its crypto ETP offerings to African markets, having partnered with the Nairobi Securities Exchange. This initiative, supported by SovFi, includes ETPs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Hedera. Valour is also committed to offering secure, regulated digital asset investment options globally and is expanding its presence in Asia. In November, Valour signed a memorandum of understanding with AsiaNext, a Singapore-licensed securities exchange, to list ETPs. AsiaNext is a joint venture between Japan’s SBI Digital Asset Holdings and Switzerland’s SIX Group, which has further strengthened Valour’s global footprint in the crypto ETP market.
