‍Valour Inc., a technology holding company and the first and only publicly traded company that bridges the gap between traditional capital markets, Web3 and decentralised finance, announces the launch of its first physically backed digital asset product.

The 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Carbon Neutral ETP (ISIN: GB00BQ991Q22) is launched by Valour’s new EU-wide issuance platform for physically stored digital assets Valour Digital Securities Limited (“VDSL”), a Jersey-based securities issuer, has obtained all regulatory approvals by the Swedish and Jersey regulators for an EU-wide offering to investors. The ETPs are secured by the respective digital assets that are physically stored with regulated custody providers.

1Valour Bitcoin Physical Carbon Neutral ETP provides investors with sustainable and climate-friendly exposure to Bitcoin with the low management fee of 1.49%. The ETP presents a trusted investment method that benefits the environment and aligns with ESG goals by funding certified carbon removal and offset initiatives in order to neutralise the associated Bitcoin carbon footprint.

Valour has partnered with leading climate action infrastructure provider Patch in the structuring of the ETP. When investments are made in the 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Carbon Neutral ETP, all carbon emissions linked to the investment will be automatically targeted to achieve carbon neutral output using Patch’s API-based solution, which takes into account various inputs, such as the efficiency of mining equipment, distribution of hash power, and nation level carbon emission data, to estimate the corresponding amount of carbon emissions the VDSL portfolio has.

To offset these emissions, Patch only selects high integrity projects that prevent, remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Patch carefully selects projects, and ensures they have been vetted by qualified and recognised organisations and standards, including: Gold Standard, Climate Action Reserve, Verified Carbon Standard, BCarbon, American Carbon Registry and Puro.Earth.

“Valour strives to ensure that its offerings promote sustainable practices and contribute to efforts to build a carbon neutral crypto industry”, said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of Valour. “As a proud signatory on the Crypto Climate Accord, Valour takes its ESG obligations seriously. We want to give retail and institutional investors, alike, the tools to partake in the exciting digital asset ecosystem and we are very proud to offer our first carbon neutral product on our new physically backed platform. With the launch of our first asset backed product we anticipate numerous future launches of new products which should help to grow our AUM substantially.”
