Valour, the asset management arm of DeFi Technologies, has launched its Hedera staking exchange-traded product (ETP) on the Euronext Amsterdam, expanding its offerings for European investors.

Investing in Hedera with ETPs

The 1Valour Hedera Physical Staking ETP is based on the HBAR token and is the result of a collaboration between Valour and The Hashgraph Group, a venture capital and tech platform within the Hedera ecosystem. The launch is part of Valour’s mission to bridge traditional finance with decentralized technologies.

According to Valour, the Hedera HBAR ETP launched with $5 million in seed funding from The Hashgraph Group. This comes as the crypto market sees significant demand for ETPs, with global inflows exceeding $44.5 billion year-to-date.

Key Features of the Hedera HBAR ETP

The physically-backed HBAR product is the first listing on the pan-European Euronext exchange under Valour Digital Securities Limited’s base prospectus. Key benefits of the ETP include:

  • Regulated and transparent digital asset investment
  • Access to the Hedera network, a proof-of-stake project with a market capitalization of over $11.4 billion
  • Opportunities for institutional and retail investors to participate in the Hedera network

“This listing broadens opportunities for institutional and retail investors to participate in Hedera’s robust, sustainable network while aligning with the growing demand for transparent and regulated digital asset investments.”

Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies, highlighted the significance of the Hedera HBAR ETP launch, which is expected to drive growth in the Hedera network.

Hedera Network Growth

The Hedera network has experienced significant growth, driven by the launch of various HBAR products. This has resulted in an increase in total value locked on the platform. The Hedera governing council has also grown to 33 members, including major entities such as Deutsche Telekom, Google, Abrdn, IBM, and Standard Bank.
