Valour, an issuer of digital asset exchange-traded products, has introduced its Valour Bitcoin Zero and Valour Ethereum Zero products on Börse Frankfurt.
The products have been listed on Börse Frankfurt Zertifikate, Deutsche Börse’s dedicated platform for structured products, and purport to come with zero management fees.
The issuer, which is a subsidiary of NEO-listed DeFi Technologies, says it also plans to list low-cost Cardano, Polkadot, and Solana ETPs shortly.
“We are pleased to announce today that ETPs created by our subsidiary Valour are now trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, a major milestone for both our shareholders and Valour,” said Russell Starr, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Technologies.
“This new market is key as Valour expands its international presence and of particular interest given Germany’s crypto-friendly regulatory environment. We believe as our products list on larger and more liquid global exchanges, Valour’s underlying AUM should grow substantially. We will also continue to list new and innovative ETP’s, evolving with this tremendously exciting new financial ecosystem,” added Starr.
Valour first launched its Bitcoin ETP in December 2020 on the Nordic Growth Market and has since introduced ETPs on Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, and Solana.
As of October 14, 2021, assets under management had surpassed $250 million.
For each ETP of Valour that is bought and sold on the NGM, Börse Frankfurt or other exchanges, Valour purchases or sells the equivalent amount of the underlying digital assets, meaning the ETPs are fully backed at all times.
By gaining exposure to digital assets via an ETP, investors can benefit from the standardisation, risk reduction and operational efficiency of a centrally cleared product listed on a regulated stock exchange.
