Valour Brings Institutional Access to HBAR Staking in Switzerland - Crypto News Flash

• Valour introduces staking-linked HBAR and ICP products to SIX, eliminating wallet and custody hassles entirely.
• HBAR breaks key resistance with volume surge, bullish outlook holds as Valour taps Swiss demand.

On July 17, Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, listed two digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs)—1Valour Hedera (HBAR) and 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP)—on the SIX Swiss Exchange. This launch marks Valour’s entry into the Swiss market and introduces staking to institutional investors under a regulated framework.

Both products allow users to invest without holding the assets themselves or managing wallets. Rewards are built directly into how each product works. They are already available on other European exchanges and are now also accessible in Switzerland through standard brokerage accounts. Each ETP factors staking rewards into its net asset value.

Elaine Buehler, Valour Head of Products, stated,

Our debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange reflects growing institutional and retail appetite for digital asset products that generate yield.

Switzerland Welcomes HBAR with 4.68% Daily Price Gain

The 1Valour Hedera ETP focuses on HBAR, the token used by the Hedera network—a public ledger built for business applications. This product is designed to share staking rewards with investors through a financial structure that removes the need for them to handle or maintain any underlying technical systems.

As of now, HBAR is at $0.2496, up by 4.68% in the past 24 hours. The trading volume also increased by 11.45% to $862.44 million. The crypto has seen a clear technical breakout above a strong resistance level of $0.216, now acting as support.

Analyst CryptoPulse suggests the coin may aim for the $0.43 mark if current support holds. He identified the $0.15 to $0.20 range as a strong entry zone, and said steady volume above $0.20 may signal further upward momentum

“$HBAR is showing real-world utility that’s hard to ignore, and the chart is lining up for something big,” noted by CryptoPulse.

Over 75 Valour ETPs Now Active Across Europe

The second product, 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP), offers access to a decentralised network for scalable smart contract execution. Like HBAR, this ETP captures staking rewards and delivers passive exposure to the asset via traditional investment routes. The structure enables investors to participate in the protocol’s economics without requiring direct crypto handling.

Valour’s expansion in Switzerland is part of a broader growth strategy. The company now lists over 75 ETPs across major European exchanges, including Börse Frankfurt, Euronext (Paris and Amsterdam), and Spotlight in Sweden. With the Swiss listings, Valour edges closer to its target of offering 100 ETPs by the end of 2025.

Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics and DACH at Valour, commented,

Launching on SIX is a major milestone in our mission to democratize access to digital assets. Switzerland is one of the most forward-looking markets for regulated crypto products, and we’re proud to offer investors here access to yield-bearing protocols like HBAR and ICP in a simple and compliant format.
