Notably, this development came a few months after Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, first disclosed an intention to welcome an XRP ETP.
XRP ETP Commenced Trading
Also, the notification disclosed that the newly listed XRP ETP, Valour Ripple (XRP) SEK, commenced trading on February 21, 2024.
The company highlighted that the Valour Ripple (XRP) SEK ETP (ISIN: CH1161139584) would allow investors to access exposure to XRP easily and securely through their bank or broker.
Furthermore, Valour emphasized that XRP holds a market capitalization of $29.57 billion, securing its position as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency worldwide. The company underscored XRP’s pivotal role in facilitating fast, cost-effective intercontinental money transfers.
Moreover, Valour highlighted XRP’s function as a bridge asset within Ripple’s payment network, enabling smooth currency exchanges on a global scale.
Given its widespread utility, Valour noted that XRP has emerged as a preferred option for financial establishments seeking efficient alternatives to conventional cross-border payment mechanisms.
In parallel, Valour remarked that BNB wields a market valuation of $54.64 billion, ranking as the fourth most prominent cryptocurrency.
Also, the company highlighted BNB’s role in facilitating trading fee payments on the largest crypto trading platform, Binance, which has spurred considerable growth interest over the years.

Reacting to this new addition, Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies, remarked:
“Valour has recently added Ripple (XRP) and Binance (BNB) exchange-traded products (ETPs) to its line of investment offerings.

Furthermore, the CEO expressed that the endeavor transcends mere product expansion, noting that it signifies a strategic step toward democratizing finance.
