Valour’s FCA Nod: Staking ETPs Arrive on the LSE

by

Valour, darling, has sashayed past the FCA’s velvet rope and is now dishing up 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking and 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking to UK retail investors.

DeFi Technologies’ cheeky little subsidiary Valour Inc. drops the news: FCA and LSE approvals in hand, and UK retail investors can start snapping up 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking and 1Valour Ethereum Physical Staking as of Jan. 26, 2026, right from Toronto. These products widen Valour’s existing professional‑investor LSE listings into retail channels, letting you chase regulated BTC and ETH exposure with staking yields through your ordinary brokerage account.

This matters because UK retail investors can now access physically‑backed, yield‑bearing crypto ETPs on the LSE-regulated on‑ramps for grown‑ups. Johan Wattenström, CEO and Chairman of DeFi Technologies, calls it “a major milestone for Valour and DeFi Technologies.” Availability is live on the London Stock Exchange and is of course subject to UK retail investor rules and jurisdictional regulations.
