Valour Inc. Expands Its Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) Line with Litecoin (LTC) and Curve DAO (CRV) Listings

The company just rolled out two fresh ETPs — one for Litecoin (LTC) and another for Curve DAO (CRV) — on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market.

Valour Inc., the digital asset wing of DeFi Technologies, continues to build up its ETP suite, adding two fresh products to Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market: Litecoin (LTC) and Curve DAO (CRV). This brings the company's total crypto investment products to over 65, inching closer to its big 2025 goal of 100 ETPs.

Both ETPs are priced in Swedish Krona and come with a 1.9% management fee, offering a convenient way to invest in crypto without needing a crypto wallet or private keys. They can be traded just like regular stocks, simplifying the process for traditional investors.

Why Is Curve Important?

While CRV is a popular DeFi token known for its role in stablecoin trading and deep liquidity on Curve, it’s not the only reason for this listing.

Curve is the backbone of stablecoin trading in DeFi, known for its deep liquidity and minimal slippage. If you’ve used any DeFi protocols or traded stablecoins on platforms like Uniswap or Aave, chances are you’ve already interacted with Curve's liquidity pools without even realizing it.

CRV, the protocol’s native token, plays a big role in governance and rewards for those who participate in the ecosystem. It's also serves as a building block for yield-generating strategies within DeFi. With a market cap close to $940 million, it's a solid pick for this kind of listing.

Litecoin: A Battle-Tested Chain

On the other hand, Litecoin is a name that most crypto folks already recognize. It was launched in 2011 as a spin-off of Bitcoin, aiming to offer faster transaction speeds and lower fees.

Often called Bitcoin’s little sibling, Litecoin is known for its cheaper and faster transactions, making it a viable alternative to Bitcoin, especially for smaller transactions or when speed is critical. It's also managed to stick around for longer than most altcoins, a testament to its resilience and ability to adapt.

With a market cap above $6.6 billion, Litecoin is still a relevant pick, especially for investors who prefer battle-tested assets with a track record.

By bringing these two tokens to a regulated trading venue, Valour is giving traditional investors an easy way to get exposure to crypto assets without having to navigate the complexities of crypto exchanges, private wallets, and private keys.

This aligns with the company's broader goal of expanding the accessibility of digital assets to a wider audience.

"We are seeing Nordic investors increasingly interested in seeking regulated and transparent ways to diversify their portfolios with digital assets," said Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour.

Highlighting the evolving investor appetite in the region, Belitz added that the Nordics have a mature and engaged trading community that is now looking beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum toward altcoins with strong use cases.

"By launching ETPs on the Spotlight Stock Market, we are meeting that demand and expanding access to a broader range of digital assets, such as CRV and LTC, which are in high demand from the trading community."

A Glimpse at What's Coming

The company has a packed pipeline of upcoming products — both single-asset and thematic baskets — set to roll out throughout 2025.

A bunch of fresh single-asset ETPs are coming up next on Valour's radar. Among them are Tron (TRX), known for powering dApps with speed and scale, and Stellar (XLM), doubling down on its mission to make cross-border payments feel like local transfers.

Then there's MANTRA (OM) and Move (MOVE), both of which will be offered in SEK and EUR — a nod to Valour's expanding investor base across Europe.

But it's not just about individual tokens anymore. Valour's also building themed baskets for investors who want diversified exposure in a single click.

One of them is the Real-World Asset (RWA) & Tokenization Basket, combining tokens that bridge blockchain and the real economy — think Mantra, Ondo, Paxos Gold, Centrifuge, and Polymesh.

Then there's the Digital Gold Basket, which mixes Bitcoin, Paxos Gold (PAXG), and Tether Gold (XAUt) — essentially a modern hedge in one product.

The Institutional Layer-1 Basket is also in the works, pulling together names like Avalanche, Algorand, Hedera, and Polkadot — all focused on scalability and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

For the more adventurous crowd, Valour is preparing leveraged crypto ETPs — kicking things off with 2x exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for those looking to dial things up.

And this isn't just a Sweden story. Valour's already eyeing new listings in Germany via Börse Frankfurt, and on Euronext as well. Plus, the company has its
