The collaboration will see Valour Inc. and SovFi leveraging their expertise in digital assets and financial solutions to create, issue, and trade these ETPs on the NSE.

Kenya is already a major player in Africa’s cryptocurrency landscape, with a tech-savvy population and robust mobile money ecosystem. DeFi Technologies is a Canada-based company traded on CBOE Canada while Valour has issued 33 ETPs on European exchanges.
