Having registered a solid performance this year, altcoins like Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) are now falling on the institutional radar. Valour Structured Products, a subsidiary of Defi Technologies, announced that it will launch exchange-traded products (ETPs) for Both Cardano and Polkadot.

Later today, May 18, the Valour Cardano (ADA) SEK will go live for trading on the Nordic Growth Market (NGM) stock exchange. Later this month, Valour’s Polkadot ETP – Valour Polkadot (DOT) SEK – will also go live on the exchange.

“Following the success of our Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, we’ve had growing investor demand for further digital asset products. With the increasing development and understanding of these technologies, we’re thrilled to bring investors the most cost-effective and secure way to access investment in innovative protocols like Cardano and Polkadot.”
