- Valour launched Europe’s first Dogecoin-linked ETP, providing a regulated way to invest in the popular cryptocurrency.
- The Dogecoin ETP is available on Sweden’s Spotlight exchange, offering exposure to DOGE in a secure format.
Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies in Europe, has launched the first-ever exchange-traded product (ETP) linked to Dogecoin (DOGE) on the Swedish market.
This product, called The Valour Dogecoin (DOGE) SEK ETP, is now listed on the Spotlight Stock Exchange in Sweden. It provides investors with a regulated and accessible way to invest in Dogecoin, a popular cryptocurrency.
An ETP is a financial product that tracks the performance of an underlying asset, such as a stock, commodity, or cryptocurrency. These products trade on regulated exchanges like stocks, and their value is based on the performance of the asset they track.
In this case, the ETP follows the price of Dogecoin, giving investors a straightforward option to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency without the need for direct ownership.
Elaine Buehler, Valour’s product director, stated that the company’s goal is to offer investors a regulated and secure method to invest in Dogecoin.
Buehler explained that the ETP adheres to legal standards while providing favorable conditions for clients looking to add digital assets to their portfolios.
“The introduction of the first Dogecoin ETP in the Nordics represents an important milestone in our mission to democratize access to digital assets. We are excited to offer investors a regulated product that captures the essence of Dogecoin’s dynamic presence in the market,” he wrote.
The Dogecoin ETP responds to growing interest in the cryptocurrency, especially in light of the increased media attention surrounding figures like Elon Musk.
Johanna Belitz, Valour’s Nordic director, pointed out that Dogecoin’s popularity has risen following recent political events, particularly in the U.S., where some high-profile figures have supported the asset.
“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.
Although this launch marks a key development for the European market, attention now turns to the U.S., where the market for crypto-based financial products is expanding.
Recently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and there are now pending applications for other cryptocurrencies, such as Solana and XRP.
While there has been no filing for a Dogecoin ETF in the U.S. yet, the launch of Valour’s product may serve as a guide for future efforts in the American market.
As of the latest data by ETHNews, Dogecoin (DOGE) is priced at $0.39822 USDT, showing a minor drop of 0.68% in the last 24 hours. Over the past week, it has gained 5.29%, and over the past month, DOGE has surged by 146.37%. The day’s range has fluctuated between $0.39460 and $0.42877, indicating some volatility in the short term.
Key technical indicators suggest a neutral to slightly bearish outlook. Although DOGE has been trending upwards over the long term, currently, there is a slight pullback, with strong resistance around $0.40.
Traders may want to wait for a breakout above this resistance for long trades, or consider entering near the lower boundary of the day’s range ($0.395) for a potential rebound.
