Paragraph 1
DeFi Technologies has secured regulatory clearance from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority to offer cryptocurrency exchange-traded products to retail investors. The approval enables its subsidiary Valour to launch two physical-asset ETPs on the London Stock Exchange: the 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking ETP and the 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking ETP.
Paragraph 2
Both products are backed by physical crypto assets, with the Bitcoin staking ETP basing its returns on staking yields automatically reflected in NAV, and the Ethereum staking ETP providing staking rewards as well. Valour said the FCA approval, coupled with the UK market’s size and regulatory clarity, marks a significant milestone for expanding access to regulated digital asset investments for retail investors. The firms behind the new products are positioned to broaden Europe’s crypto-investment footprint.
Paragraph 3
DeFi Technologies reported 2023 revenue of $651.73 million, up 426.34% year over year, 2024 revenue of $135.15 million, up 1,973.79%, and a 2025 revenue forecast of $10.517 million with EPS moving from -0.053 in 2023 to 0.25 in 2024 and 0.11 in 2025. The company’s leadership highlighted that the UK-regulated offering could accelerate expansion of crypto investment products across Europe and attract greater institutional participation as regulatory clarity deepens.
