TORONTO, Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies") (NEO: DEFI) (GR: RMJR) (OTC: DEFTF), a technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Valour Inc. ("Valour"), an issuer of digital asset ETPs, has listed two of its Exchange-Traded Products ("ETPs") on the Euronext exchange in Paris and Amsterdam.
Listing these and other ETPs on Euronext will expand the company's European footprint and allow it to provide a larger investor base with access to digital assets via mainstream investment channels. The following industry leading ETPs are now available on Euronext Amsterdam and Paris:
- Valour Bitcoin Zero ISIN: CH0573883474 / Ticker: BTC0 / Fee: 0% p.a.
- Valour Ethereum Zero ISIN: CH0585378752 / Ticker: ETH0 / Fee: 0% p.a.
In the past three months, Valour announced the listing of its Bitcoin Zero and Ethereum Zero products on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Valour also listed the world's first Uniswap ETP on the Frankfurt exchange and on the Nordic Growth Market ("NGM").
"Our mission is to broaden investor access to digital assets, and expanding into different European markets is at the heart of that mission. This listing of our ETPs with Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam is a fantastic milestone," said Diana Biggs, CEO of Valour and CSO of DeFi Technologies. "We're in a key phase of growth as we continue our journey to create truly innovative and accessible product offerings for this exciting new asset class."
"The recent accomplishments over the last months reinforce Valour's ability to continually develop and expand its offering," said Russell Starr, CEO of DeFi Technologies. "We have said throughout 2021 that we will continue to launch new products and expand into new markets, and we have delivered on those promises. I look forward to seeing this growth continue into 2022 and beyond."
In November, Valour surpassed US$370m in assets under management ("AUM") from the trading of its products on the NGM and Frankfurt stock exchanges. This achievement marks an exceptional first eleven months of 2021, which has seen AUM grow more than 4000% since the start of the year.
Valour offers fully hedged digital asset exchange-traded products with low to zero management fees. Valour's Uniswap (UNI) ETP is the world's first and only, with Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT) and Solana (SOL) ETPs the first of their kind in the Nordics. Valour's Bitcoin Zero and Valour Ethereum Zero remain the first and only fully hedged, passive investment product with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as underlyings which are completely fee-free, with competitors charging up to 2.5% in management fees.
