Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market has listed 20 new digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs), making those assets available to traditional investors. All of them were issued by Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies.
<h2 id="a-deluge-of-crypto-etps">A deluge of crypto ETPs</h2>
The new mass launch brings the number of ETPs traded on Spotlight to 45. All of them are digital asset offerings issued by Valour. Four of them are denominated in euros, with the remainder being priced in Swedish kronor.
Spotlight debuted its ETP segment with Valour’s Core (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/core-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">CORE</a>) and Hedera (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/hedera-hbar-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">HBAR</a>) products in June. Many of the ETPs are managed by a third party.
