In addition to its record-breaking financial performance, Valour is expanding its geographic focus to unlock opportunities in emerging markets. Valour has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AsiaNext and SovFi to pursue the listing and expansion of its digital asset ETPs on AsiaNext’s Singapore-licensed securities exchange. This initiative aims to enhance institutional access across the Asia-Pacific region, which is witnessing rapid digital asset adoption.
Similarly, Valour is working to enter the African market through a MOU with the Nairobi Securities Exchange and SovFi. This collaboration seeks to facilitate the creation, issuance, and trading of digital asset ETPs in Africa. These MOUs mark the initial steps in Valour’s efforts to establish a presence in these high-potential regions as the regulatory frameworks and market infrastructures governing such jurisdictions continue to evolve.
Valour’s current strategic focus encompasses Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, which represent significant opportunities for growth due to their increasing adoption of digital assets. By engaging with key partners and regulators in these regions, Valour is positioning itself to capitalize on the ongoing global evolution of digital asset investment products.
