Valour Rings the Bell at SIX Swiss Exchange to Mark Inaugural Listings of HBAR and ICP Staking ETPs

TORONTO, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Technologies (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies”) () () (), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance (“DeFi”), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, “Valour”), participated in a bell-ringing ceremony at the SIX Swiss Exchange to commemorate Valour’s inaugural product listings in Switzerland on July 17, 2025.

On July 17, Valour officially entered the Swiss market with the listing of two staking ETPs on SIX: 1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BRC6JM96) and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BS2BDN04). Today’s ceremony recognizes that milestone and Valour’s continued expansion across Europe.

“Today’s bell-ringing at SIX celebrates an important step in Valour’s growth,” said Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics and DACH at Valour. “Switzerland is among the most forward-looking markets for regulated digital asset products, and we’re pleased to offer simple, compliant access to native protocol yields from HBAR and ICP.”

“Our debut on SIX reflects strong demand from both institutions and retail investors for transparent, yield-generating digital asset products,” added Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour. “These ETPs are physically backed with integrated staking rewards reflected in NAV—enabling investors to participate in network economics without managing wallets or custody themselves.”

About the Listed Products

1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BRC6JM96)

HBAR is the native token of the Hedera network, a high-throughput, proof-of-stake public ledger built for enterprise-grade applications. The ETP provides exposure to HBAR with staking rewards accrued to the product and reflected in its net asset value.

1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking (ISIN: GB00BS2BDN04)

ICP powers the Internet Computer, a decentralized network enabling web-scale smart contracts. The ETP offers passive ICP exposure while integrating native staking yield into the product structure.

With these products on SIX, Valour now offers 75+ ETPs across Europe—including Spotlight (Sweden), Börse Frankfurt (Germany), Euronext (Paris and Amsterdam), and now SIX (Switzerland)—and remains on track to reach 100 ETPs by year-end 2025. The HBAR and ICP ETPs are cross-listed and available to Swiss investors through existing brokerage accounts.
