Frequently asked questions
What is the legal and regulatory structure of a Valour ETP?
The firm describes its products as regulated exchange-traded products listed on well-established European exchanges. An ETP structure provides a clear, consistent link between the product’s price and the underlying digital asset, and it does not require the end investor to open a dedicated crypto trading account — the position sits inside a conventional brokerage account.
Does Valour offer ETPs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Yes. While BTC and ETH products anchor the lineup, Valour issues single-asset ETPs for Solana, Dogecoin, Hedera, Render, and Sui, alongside a diversified Top 10 Digital Asset Basket (VDAB10). The product range targets both large-cap liquidity and protocol-level bets on specific blockchain ecosystems.
How does the staking yield on products like 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking work?
The 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking ETP is constructed to track the price of spot Bitcoin while distributing a stated 1.40% yield, achieved without requiring the holder to sell or trade the underlying BTC. The yield is generated through staking or yield-optimization mechanics baked into the ETP’s operational design, though the precise counterparty and validator-set details are not published by the firm.
