The agreement will facilitate the development, issuance, and trading of digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) in Africa, leveraging Valour’s expertise in digital assets and SovFi’s financial solutions.

The MOU aims to enhance market infrastructure, attract a wider investor base, and boost trading volumes by introducing Valour’s ETPs on the NSE.
