Valour Inc. Launches Constant Leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs on Spotlight Stock Market

  • New leveraged ETPs on Spotlight (SEK): Bull Bitcoin X2 Valour and Bull Ethereum X2 Valour deliver 2x daily exposure to BTC and ETH in a regulated, exchange-traded format (no wallets or margin; 1.9% management fee).
  • Designed for familiar Nordic workflows: Built for investors who want amplified exposure without digital wallets or margin accounts, leveraging the region’s long standing familiarity with Bull and Bear style products.
  • Expanding beyond spot products: Strengthens Valour’s product breadth with structured and enhanced exposure offerings that complement its diversified lineup across next generation crypto themes.

TORONTO, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies“) (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance (“DeFi“), is pleased  to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, “Valour“), a leading issuer of exchange traded products (“ETPs“) has launched two new leveraged ETPs on the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden:

  • Bull Bitcoin X2 Valour (ISIN: CH1108679809)
  • Bull Ethereum X2 Valour (ISIN: CH1108679825)

These new products offer 2x leveraged daily exposure to the world’s two most prominent digital assets, allowing investors to amplify their exposure using regulated, exchange-traded vehicles without the need to manage digital wallets or margin accounts. Each product carries a 1.9% management fee and is accessible through traditional investment platforms.

Broadening Access to Enhanced Digital Asset Exposure

The launch of constant leverage certificates on Bitcoin and Ethereum represents another step in Valour’s mission to make digital assets more accessible, transparent, and user-friendly for both retail and institutional investors. These offerings are designed for those who seek additional exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum‘s price movements while maintaining the safeguards and familiarity of traditional financial infrastructure.

Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour, commented:

“Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to be the most widely followed and held digital assets globally. By launching 2x ETPs, we’re expanding the range of investment choices available to our clients, allowing for enhanced exposure within a secure, regulated format.”

Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour, added:

“Constant daily leverage certificates, also known as Bull and Bear-certificates, have long been a part of the Nordic investment landscape. Many Nordic investors are already familiar with how these leveraged products function and what it takes to use them effectively. That foundation makes it easier to understand and engage with Valour’s new Bull-certificates — especially with Bitcoin and Ethereum as the underlying assets.”

Johan Wattenström, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Technologies, said:

“Leveraged ETPs are a natural extension of Valour’s platform as we expand beyond spot exposure and give investors more ways to express conviction through regulated, exchange traded products. In markets like the Nordics, where investors are already familiar with Bull and Bear structures, these launches broaden our toolkit and strengthen our ability to meet demand across different risk and return profiles while staying inside traditional brokerage rails.”

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia

The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
