DeFi Technologies' subsidiary Valour has entered the Swiss market with the launch of two staking-enabled exchange traded products on the SIX Swiss Exchange, marking the DeFi Technologies subsidiary's inaugural product listings in Switzerland.
The newly listed products include 1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking, both offering investors exposure to digital assets whilst capturing native staking rewards distributed directly to the products and reflected in their net asset values.
The launch represents Valour's expansion into Switzerland as part of its broader European growth strategy. The company now offers over 75 ETPs across European exchanges including Spotlight in Sweden, Börse Frankfurt in Germany, Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam, and now SIX in Switzerland, with a target of reaching 100 ETPs by year-end 2025.
Both products are cross-listed ETPs already trading on other major European exchanges, providing Swiss investors access through existing brokerage accounts. The HBAR ETP offers exposure to the native token of the Hedera network, described as a high-throughput, proof-of-stake public ledger designed for enterprise-grade applications. The ICP ETP provides exposure to the Internet Computer, a decentralised network enabling secure, scalable smart contract execution and web-speed blockchain functionality.
Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics and DACH at Valour, said: "Launching on SIX is a major milestone in our mission to democratise access to digital assets. Switzerland is one of the most forward-looking markets for regulated crypto products, and we're proud to offer investors here access to yield-bearing protocols like HBAR and ICP in a simple and compliant format."
The products feature competitive management fees and integrated staking rewards, providing what Valour describes as secure, transparent, and regulated access to digital assets whilst enabling investors to benefit from native protocol yields without requiring wallet management or custodianship.
Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour, said: "Our debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange reflects growing institutional and retail appetite for digital asset products that generate yield. These ETPs not only give investors exposure to two high-quality blockchain ecosystems—they do so through structures designed for security, simplicity, and accessibility."
Valour is part of DeFi Technologies, a financial technology company that describes itself as bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralised finance. DeFi Technologies trades on Nasdaq under the ticker DEFT and positions itself as the first Nasdaq-listed digital asset manager of its kind.
The company's integrated business model includes Valour's ETP offerings, Stillman Digital digital asset prime brokerage, Reflexivity Research for digital asset research, Neuronomics for quantitative trading strategies, and DeFi Alpha for internal arbitrage and trading operations.
DeFi Technologies offers equity investors diversified exposure to the broader decentralised economy through its scalable business model, with Valour providing access to over 65 digital assets via regulated ETPs across European markets.
Switzerland's position as a forward-looking jurisdiction for cryptocurrency regulation has attracted numerous digital asset companies seeking to offer products to European investors through established financial market infrastructure.
