Valour Expands Its ETP Footprint with New Litecoin and Curve DAO Token Offerings

Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies and issuer of exchange-traded products, has announced the launch of two new ETPs for Litecoin and Curve DAO Token.

Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies (TSX:TECH)(FSE:DR0) and a fast-growing issuer of exchange-traded products, has announced the launch of two new ETPs for Litecoin and Curve DAO Token.

The Valour Curve DAO (CRV) and Valour Litecoin (LTC) exchange-traded funds have been listed on the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden.

Following the announcement, prices for both assets moved higher, with LTC surging more than 12% to outpace most top-100 altcoins by market cap. The rally comes even as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently delayed a decision on a proposed spot Litecoin ETF. Litecoin, often dubbed “digital silver” in relation to Bitcoin, rose above $92, while CRV climbed 5% to test resistance around $0.68.

The launch expands Valour’s footprint in the Nordic region, offering investors access to a broader range of digital asset products beyond the standard Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. It is catering to the increasing demand for single-asset crypto ETPs in Europe.

“As the demand for crypto investment products grows, so does the need for diversity and variety,” said Johanna Belitz, head of Nordics at Valour.

“Launching ETPs on Curve and Litecoin on the Spotlight Stock Market, we’re meeting that demand and expanding access to a broader range of digital assets. These additions reflect our commitment to leading in product innovation and staying responsive to investor needs.”

Both ETPs carry a 1.9% management fee and are available via traditional brokerage accounts. They add to Valour’s existing suite of crypto products, which includes offerings linked to Cardano, BNB, Aptos, Avalanche, Sui, and Dogecoin, and other altcoins.

Commenting on the LTC and Curve DAO ETPs, Valour head of products Elaine Buehler, added:

“When developing new ETPs, we look closely at assets that combine strong market fundamentals with real-world utility. Curve and Litecoin both meet those criteria — one driving innovation in decentralized finance, the other proving itself over a decade as a fast and efficient payment network.”

In the future, Valour plans to add single-asset ETPs for Tron, Stellar, MANTRA and Move.

The issuer’s quest to offer 100 ETPs by end of 2025 will also see it offer products on real-world asset and tokenization basket and a digital gold basket. In the latter, Valour eyes a basket of Bitcoin, Paxos Gold and Tether Gold.

An institutional layer-1 basket will feature “blockchain networks with strong enterprise and government partnerships.” These include Algorand, Hedera, Polkadot and Sei. BlackRock’s (NYSE:BLK) BUIDL will also be in this basket.

Valour’s products are listed on top European exchanges on Spotlight, Börse Frankfurt and Euronext. The company also eyes traction across the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
