Valour Launches First Products on SIX Swiss Exchange
Valour has made a significant move into the Swiss market with its recent listing of two innovative staking ETPs—1Valour Hedera (HBAR) and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP)—on the esteemed SIX Swiss Exchange. This launch signals Valour's commitment towards providing secure and competitive access to digital assets for investors.
Access to Native Yield Through Regulated ETPs
These new ETPs are designed to integrate native staking rewards directly into their framework, allowing for secure and transparent exposure to HBAR and ICP. By incorporating staking rewards, Valour ensures that investors can capitalize on yield opportunities without the complexities often associated with managing digital assets individually.
Accelerating Toward 100 ETPs in Europe
Valour's launch of these products adds to an impressive catalog of over 75 ETPs currently available throughout Europe. The company remains focused on reaching its ambitious milestone of 100 ETPs by the close of 2025, further solidifying its position in the digital asset landscape.

- 1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BRC6JM96)
- 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BS2BDN04)
Both ETPs are already trading on major European exchanges, making them readily accessible for Swiss investors through their existing brokerage accounts. With competitive management fees and integrated staking rewards, the products not only offer a safe investment route but also facilitate the collection of returns from the underlying digital assets.
About the Listed Products
