Per the notification, Valour is set to introduce the XRP ETP on a European exchange in the early days of December 2023. Furthermore, the report noted that the XRP ETP investment vehicle would empower investors, enabling them to gain exposure to XRP seamlessly and securely through their respective banks or brokerage services.
In parallel, DeFi Technologies spotlighted the position of XRP in the crypto market. It noted that XRP boasts a substantial market valuation of $31.6 billion, ranking as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency globally.
Expressing enthusiasm about this development, Marco Infuso, Chief Sales Officer of Valour, remarked:

Also, the XRP ETP announcement highlighted XRP’s role in enabling swift and cost-effective international money transfers. It mentioned that within the RippleNet framework, XRP acts as a bridge currency, facilitating smooth currency exchanges on a global scale.
It is worth mentioning that Valour’s current product lineup encompasses other cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Binance (BNB). According to the report, Bitcoin and Ethereum make up Valour’s flagship offerings.
