Valour has launched its first crypto Exchange-Traded Products on the SIX Swiss Exchange, marking its entry into one of Europe’s most established financial markets. The bell-ringing ceremony in Zurich celebrated the listing of two new products: one linked to the Internet Computer (ICP) and the other to Hedera (HBAR).
The new additions make Valour the 19th issuer of crypto-backed ETPs on the Swiss exchange, expanding investor access to digital assets through a regulated structure. With the launch, the company introduced the Valour Internet Computer Physical Staking (1VIC) ETP alongside the Valour Hedera Physical Staking (HBAR) ETP. Both products are designed to offer exposure to blockchain networks while integrating yield opportunities through staking.
Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour, described the occasion as a defining moment for the firm, pointing to the role of the Swiss exchange as a gateway for institutional and retail investors seeking structured access to crypto markets. The focus, she said, is on combining regulated frameworks with the growth potential of emerging blockchain ecosystems.
For the Internet Computer community, the listing reflects growing recognition of ICP as an investable asset within traditional financial infrastructure. The inclusion of staking within the ETP structure adds an additional layer of appeal for those looking to participate in blockchain activity without having to manage technical processes themselves.
SIX Swiss Exchange has become a hub for digital asset products in recent years, and the addition of Internet Computer and Hedera reflects the steady diversification of available instruments. While market interest in such products remains closely tied to broader sentiment around crypto assets, the move highlights the continued demand for regulated exposure.
Valour’s launch comes amid wider industry efforts to bridge the gap between decentralised networks and traditional finance. By bringing products like ICP and HBAR into an exchange-traded format, the company aims to make digital assets more accessible to a broader base of investors while still offering features like staking that are central to blockchain participation.
