DeFi Technologies' Subsidiary Valour Launches First Dogecoin (DOGE) ETP in the Nordics on Spotlight Stock Market
TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Technologies Inc. (the “ Company ” or “ DeFi Technologies ”) ( CBOE CA: DEFI ) ( GR: R9B ) ( OTC: DEFTF ), a crypto-native technology company at the forefront of merging traditional capital markets with decentralized finance (“ DeFi ”), proudly announces that its subsidiary Valour Inc. (“ Valour ”), a leading issuer of exchange-traded products (“ ETPs ”) providing simplified access to digital assets, has listed the Valour Dogecoin (DOGE) ETP in the Nordics on the Spotlight Stock Market. This marks the launch of the first Dogecoin (DOGE) ETP in the region, offering investors a simple and secure way to gain exposure to DOGE.
This launch grants investors seamless access to Dogecoin, a prominent cryptocurrency known for its active community and widespread adoption. With a market cap of approximately $59.6 billion, Dogecoin ranks as the 7th largest digital asset globally.
The Valour Dogecoin (DOGE) SEK ETP (ISIN: CH1108679320) is the latest addition to Valour's expanding portfolio of digital asset products. This ETP enables investors to gain exposure to Dogecoin's performance without the complexities of direct cryptocurrency ownership. Featuring a competitive management fee of 1.9%, the ETP offers a streamlined and secure avenue for investors to participate in the cryptocurrency market.
“Introducing the world's first Dogecoin ETP in the Nordics represents a significant milestone in our mission to democratize access to digital assets,” commented Elaine Buehler, Head of Product at Valour. “We are excited to provide investors with a regulated product that captures the essence of Dogecoin's dynamic market presence.”
Dogecoin (DOGE) is a peer-to-peer, open-source cryptocurrency introduced in 2013 as a humorous alternative to Bitcoin. Originating as a parody of the cryptocurrency boom, Dogecoin features the iconic Shiba Inu dog from the viral “Doge” meme as its logo. Despite its lighthearted beginnings, Dogecoin has evolved into a widely recognized and utilized digital currency with a vibrant community and a strong presence in the cryptocurrency market.
Dogecoin uses the Scrypt algorithm, enabling fast and low-cost transactions. Its inflationary design, with no maximum supply, supports steady coin issuance, making it suitable for microtransactions and everyday use. Dogecoin is commonly used for tipping content creators, charitable donations, crowdfunding initiatives, and payments with merchants like SpaceX and the Dallas Mavericks.
Driven by an active and loyal community, Dogecoin has maintained relevance through ongoing development and widespread adoption. Its blend of accessibility, humor, and utility continues to contribute to its role as a significant and enduring player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
“In light of the recent U.S. presidential election results and the subsequent surge in demand for Dogecoin, the launch of the Valour Dogecoin ETP on the Spotlight Stock Market aligns with our mission to provide investors with timely access to high-demand digital assets,” said Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour. “The growing popularity of Dogecoin, bolstered by influential figures like Elon Musk, highlights our commitment to delivering innovative and diversified investment opportunities in the Nordics.”
