**Crypto Fund Valour Partners with Nairobi Securities Exchange for Digital Asset ETPs**
Crypto fund issuer Valour has inked a deal with the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) and SovFi to introduce digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) in Kenya. This move could see Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Hedera (HBAR) ETPs being traded on the NSE.
- **Passporting ETPs:** Valour plans to "passport" these ETPs, a process allowing financial instruments registered in one region to be recognized in another.
- **CEO's Vision:** Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of Valour’s parent company DeFi Technologies, aims to offer secure and regulated digital asset exposure to investors.
- **Kenya's Crypto Landscape:** Kenya has been working on regulating digital assets since 2022, with a framework in development by a multiagency government group.
This partnership highlights Kenya's growing interest in digital assets and Web3 technologies.
