Insights
DeFi Technologies expands European footprint with Swiss ETPs offering staking rewards, strategic growth toward 100-ETP goal.
DeFi Technologies' subsidiary Valour has strategically expanded into Switzerland by listing two digital asset Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) on the SIX Swiss Exchange. This market entry represents a significant milestone in the company's European expansion strategy, bringing their total ETP offerings to over 75 across Europe.
The newly listed products—1Valour Hedera (HBAR) and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking ETPs—differentiate themselves through an integrated staking mechanism. This structure allows investors to gain exposure to the underlying cryptocurrencies while simultaneously earning native protocol yields. Such product innovation addresses the growing demand for regulated crypto investment vehicles that offer passive income potential.
This Swiss market entry aligns with Valour's ambitious target of reaching 100 ETPs by the end of 2025. The company's cross-listing approach—making products available across multiple European exchanges—maximizes distribution reach while leveraging existing product infrastructure. For Swiss investors, these products offer the advantage of accessibility through standard brokerage accounts, eliminating the technical barriers typically associated with direct cryptocurrency staking.
The expansion into Switzerland—a significant financial hub with sophisticated investor demographics—positions DeFi Technologies to capture market share in one of Europe's wealthiest markets. With the digital asset ETP sector experiencing rapid growth, this strategic market entry enhances the company's competitive positioning in the institutional-grade crypto exposure landscape.

- Access to Native Yield Through Regulated ETPs: Both products offer secure, transparent, and regulated exposure to HBAR and ICP, while integrating native staking rewards directly into their structure.
- Accelerating Toward 100 ETPs in Europe: With this launch, Valour now offers over 75 ETPs across Europe and continues to expand its footprint in line with its goal of reaching 100 ETPs by the end of 2025.

About the Listed Products
1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking
HBAR is the native token of the Hedera network, a high-throughput, proof-of-stake public ledger designed for enterprise-grade applications. This ETP offers investors exposure to HBAR while capturing staking rewards—distributed directly to the product and reflected in its net asset value—without requiring users to manage wallets or custodianship themselves.
1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking ICP powers the Internet Computer, a decentralized network that enables secure, scalable smart contract execution and web-speed blockchain functionality. This ETP provides passive exposure to ICP while generating staking yield, enabling investors to participate in the network’s native economics via a traditional financial instrument.
