Inside the network
🔸What we’re watching: Valour, a Toronto-based digital asset manager and subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, launched its exchange-traded product (ETP) for CORE that will be listed on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Exchange.
🔸Why it matters: The Valour CORE ETP aims to provide a way for investors to gain exposure to Core’s native token and blockchain, without having to navigate directly onchain, which could be a complex process for traditional investors. The ETP hopes to bridge the gap between finance and blockchain technology.
Valour’s ETP for CORE enhances the appeal of Core’s bitcoin staking capabilities, allowing holders to earn yield without losing custody of their assets. By making CORE accessible to traditional investors through an ETP, it could expand the asset’s reach and awareness.
🔸TLDR: The Valour CORE ETP expands the digital asset manager’s diverse crypto portfolio in both the Nordic and German regions. This ETP listing on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Exchange, alongside its prior launch on the Börse Frankfurt Exchange continues pointing to expansion of digital assets in new regions through products that meet investors where they’re at.
