Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market has taken a significant step in bridging traditional finance with digital assets. The exchange has listed 20 new digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs), making these blockchain-based assets accessible to traditional investors. The products were issued by Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, and among the newly listed offerings, the Cosmos ecosystem shines with five notable projects represented.
Spotlight's Growing Crypto ETP Market
With this addition, the total number of crypto ETPs on Spotlight rises to 45. Valour has been actively broadening its portfolio, offering investors access to blockchain technologies and alternative digital assets.
Valour co-founder Johan Wattenström highlighted the launch’s significance:
“By simultaneously introducing such a diverse range of innovative products, we are not merely expanding our portfolio — we are offering investors access to the forefront of blockchain technology.”
The new ETPs include a mix of decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence (AI), cloud compute, and cross-chain liquidity projects. Four of these are denominated in euros, while the rest are priced in Swedish kronor.
5 Cosmos Ecosystem Chains Now Listed
Five of the newly listed assets come from the Cosmos ecosystem, reinforcing its growing role in decentralized infrastructure:
AKT (Akash Network): Decentralized cloud compute for Web3 applications.
FET (Fetch.ai): AI and machine learning network that powers autonomous services.
INJ (Injective): A DeFi protocol and trading hub designed for fast, decentralized derivatives and exchanges.
SEI (Sei Network): An optimized Layer-1 blockchain for trading and liquidity.
RUNE (THORChain): A cross-chain liquidity protocol enabling seamless swaps across blockchains.
Additionally, $ATOM, the native token of the Cosmos Hub, was already listed on Spotlight, demonstrating continued momentum for Cosmos-based projects.
Valour's Ambitious Growth Plan
Valour, the issuer of these ETPs, has been aggressively expanding its offerings. The company currently lists over 60 ETPs across Europe and aims to reach 100 by the end of 2025.
Spotlight Stock Market's increasing focus on digital assets reflects a growing interest in regulated financial products tied to blockchain technology. By providing exposure to leading projects, such as those within the Cosmos ecosystem, it signals the gradual adoption of decentralized infrastructure within mainstream finance.
Bridging Traditional and Decentralized Finance
For Cosmos, a network built on interoperability and modular design, this listing showcases its ecosystem’s versatility and potential to address real-world challenges.
For investors, these ETPs offer a simplified way to gain exposure to blockchain assets without directly navigating decentralized exchanges or managing private keys.
For projects within Cosmos, it provides an opportunity to attract mainstream attention and drive further adoption.
As Cosmos projects continue to innovate and scale, their presence in regulated markets like Spotlight is a critical step toward broader adoption and recognition.
