DeFi Technologies subsidiary Valour has launched eight new exchange-traded products (ETPs) on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market, expanding its suite of regulated digital asset investment solutions. The new SEK-denominated ETPs include exposure to Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Unus Sed Leo (LEO), OKB (OKB), Polygon (POL), Algorand (ALGO), Filecoin (FIL), Arbitrum (ARB), and Stacks (STX)—bringing Valour’s total listed products to over 75 across major European exchanges.
This strategic expansion reinforces Valour’s position as one of the most comprehensive digital asset ETP issuers globally and supports its goal of launching 100 ETPs by the end of 2025.
Broadening Access to Key Digital Assets
The newly listed ETPs offer investors regulated, exchange-traded access to a diverse range of blockchain protocols, infrastructure projects, and utility tokens. These assets represent critical components of the evolving Web3 ecosystem, from layer-1 and layer-2 scaling solutions to decentralized storage and smart contract platforms.
Each ETP is denominated in Swedish krona (SEK), making it easily accessible to Nordic investors through standard brokerage accounts. With a management fee of 1.9%, the products balance cost-efficiency with compliance and security.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are ETPs and how do they differ from ETFs?
A: Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) are financial instruments traded on stock exchanges that track the price of an underlying asset—like cryptocurrencies. While similar to ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), ETPs may include structures like exchange-traded notes (ETNs) or commodity-backed securities. In this case, Valour’s ETPs are fully backed by the underlying digital assets.
Q: Are these ETPs available outside Sweden?
A: While initially listed on Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden, many Valour ETPs are also available on other European exchanges such as Börse Frankfurt and Euronext. Investors should check local brokerage offerings for availability.
Q: How are the underlying assets secured?
A: Valour ensures robust custody solutions for all underlying digital assets, typically using regulated third-party custodians with cold storage and insurance protections in place.
Q: Can retail investors buy these ETPs easily?
A: Yes. These SEK-denominated ETPs can be purchased through most standard brokerage platforms in Sweden and across Europe—just like stocks or traditional ETFs—making them highly accessible.
Q: Why invest in blockchain infrastructure tokens like FIL or ALGO?
A: Infrastructure tokens power core Web3 services such as storage (Filecoin), consensus (Algorand), and scaling (Arbitrum). As decentralized applications grow in usage, demand for these foundational layers increases—potentially driving long-term value.
Q: What is Valour’s connection to DeFi Technologies?
A: Valour is a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies Inc., a Nasdaq-listed fintech company focused on integrating decentralized finance with traditional capital markets. Other subsidiaries include Reflexivity Research, Stillman Digital, and Neuronomics AG.
