Valour has launched a new product on the London Stock Exchange: a Bitcoin Staking ETP. The move, according to the company, expands access to institutional buyers seeking Bitcoin exposure with an added yield component.
How the Bitcoin Staking ETP works
The Bitcoin Staking ETP, launched on September 18, 2025, offers professional investors an annual staking yield of 1.4%, which is added daily to the Net Asset Value (NAV). Therefore, returns accrue continuously rather than in periodic distributions. Valour says the product is kept for institutions and professionals at launch.
According to the source, the structure enables investors to generate returns on properly custodied Bitcoin for the first time on the LSE. As a result, it aims to blend Bitcoin exposure with a modest staking yield in a regulated wrapper.
Access and timing
Valour’s ETP is currently restricted to institutions and professional investors. However, UK retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes is set to reopen on October 8, 2025, which could broaden market participation if applicable rules permit. Meanwhile, the ETP’s daily yield accrual may appeal to funds that prefer NAV-based compounding.
Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies, stated, “We are proud to present the world’s first Bitcoin-Staking-ETP on the London Stock Exchange,” emphasizing that it allows returns on properly custodied Bitcoin.
Why it matters
This debut suggests growing demand for regulated Bitcoin vehicles that integrate yield. It also underscores London’s role as a venue for crypto-linked ETPs. For background on how similar instruments track underlying assets, see what an ETN is.
