Valour's Entry into the Swiss Market with Staking ETPs
Valour has made significant waves in the financial world by launching its first products on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The newly listed exchange-traded products (ETPs)—1Valour Hedera (HBAR) and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP)—mark an important milestone for the company and its ambition to broaden its offering.
Innovative Access to Digital Assets
The launch of these ETPs is especially notable as they provide a secure and transparent method for investors to gain access to digital assets such as HBAR and ICP. By integrating native staking rewards into their very structure, Valour allows investors to earn yields without the need for complex wallet management or custodian services.
Growth and Future Goals
With this launch on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Valour expands its European footprint, now boasting over 75 ETPs across various exchanges. The company has set a clear goal to achieve 100 ETPs by the end of 2025, illustrating its commitment to strengthening its presence in regulated markets.
About Valour's Staking ETP Products
The new products released by Valour are:
- 1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BRC6JM96)
- 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BS2BDN04)
Both ETPs are already established on other prominent European exchanges, with trading experience now available to Swiss investors through their existing brokerage accounts. With competitive management fees coupled with the unique benefit of integrated staking rewards, these ETPs promise a transparent and regulated way to interact with digital assets.
Understanding HBAR and ICP Through ETPs
For those unfamiliar, HBAR is the native cryptocurrency for the Hedera network, which is built for high-performance applications requiring a proof-of-stake public ledger. The 1Valour Hedera ETP allows investors to capture staking rewards directly within the ETP structure.
On the other hand, ICP powers the Internet Computer, a significant advancement in decentralized technology, facilitating secure and scalable smart contract execution. Investors in the 1Valour ICP ETP can earn staking yields while participating in the economics of this innovative network through traditional financial instruments.

Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour, highlighted the ETPs’ significance by saying, "Our debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange reflects the increasing institutional and retail demand for digital asset products that generate yield, providing secure and simple access to two prominent blockchain ecosystems."
