DeFi Technologies has announced that its subsidiary Valour has received UK regulatory approval and begun offering select exchange traded products to UK retail investors through the London Stock Exchange, starting 26 January 2026.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority has approved Valour's UK base prospectuses for two products: 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BRBV3124) and 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BRBMZ190).
DeFi Technologies (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B) is a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralised finance. Valour Inc. and Valour Digital Securities Limited are issuers of exchange traded products.
The approval marks an expansion from Valour's earlier LSE launches for professional investors to now include UK retail investors, who can access regulated BTC/ETH exposure with a yield component via traditional brokerage accounts.
Johan Wattenström, CEO and Chairman, DeFi Technologies
Johan Wattenström, CEO and Chairman, DeFi Technologies said:
"This is a major milestone for Valour and DeFi Technologies as we continue expanding access to regulated digital asset investment products. The UK is one of the world's most important financial markets, and these approvals broaden our ability to serve UK retail investors with transparent, exchange-listed products that provide straightforward exposure to the evolving digital asset economy."
Valour's 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking ETP provides regulated access to Bitcoin with a staking yield component reflected in the ETP's net asset value. Valour's Ethereum Physical Staking ETP provides physically-backed exposure to Ethereum with staking reward participation through an exchange-listed instrument.
Following the launch of Valour's asset-backed Ethereum Physical Staking ETP for professional investors and the launch of the world's first physically-backed Bitcoin Staking ETP, Valour now offers these products to UK retail investors.
