Bitcoin-Powered Core DAO Debuts Its Own ETP on the Swedish Stock Exchange
DeFi Technologies subsidiary Valour has unveiled the first exchange-traded product for Core DAO, a Bitcoin scaling solution.
Swiss financial firm Valor has launched its first exchange-traded product (ETP) for Core DAO (CORE), a Bitcoin– Layer 1 solution with support for integration of Proof-of-Work and Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanisms.
In a press release seen by crypto.news, the Core Foundation said the new product called “CORE ETP” will be available on the Spotlight Stock Exchange as part of the organization’s efforts to offer investors “a new way to gain exposure to the blockchain network Core.”
CoreDAO founding contributor Rich Rines said the launch of the ETP marks a “valuable contribution” to the project, adding that institutions and other traditional finance participants can now access the native CORE token. Founded in 2022, Core is a Bitcoin-powered blockchain that aims to offer EMV-compliant services such as non-custodial Bitcoin staking and yield-bearing Bitcoin ETPs.
For DeFi Technologies, the launch comes just a week after the company had to refute allegations of stock manipulation and unsubstantiated growth claims made by cryptocurrency newsletter CoinSnacks, which questioned the basis for its stock’s 3,400% surge over the past year.
On a June 18 ReportCoinSnacks has criticized DeFi Technologies, claiming that the company’s stock gains were driven by “influencer pumps, CNBC mentions, email campaigns, and Pompeo endorsements.” [Anthony Pompliano].”
Responding the next day, DeFi Technologies fired CoinSnacks claims, labeling the report in its press release as “unsubstantiated” and containing “defamatory, selective, inaccurate, incomplete and misleading statements, speculation and innuendo.”
