The closing bell ceremony at Börse Frankfurt marked the debut of the Valour Hedera (HBAR) ETP, drawing the attention of key industry leaders and investors. This new product underscores Valour’s commitment to expanding its portfolio of ETPs and enhancing market accessibility for digital assets on traditional exchanges.

“As we launch the world’s first Hedera (HBAR) ETP, we’re not just offering an investment product; we’re providing a gateway for investors to easily access and leverage the robust capabilities of the Hedera network,” stated Elaine Buehler, Head of Product at Valour Europe AG. “This product simplifies the process, enabling investors to participate in the future of enterprise blockchain technology with unprecedented ease and security.”

The Valour Hedera (HBAR) ETP is a significant addition to Valour’s range of offerings, designed to provide institutional investors with secure and straightforward access to Hedera’s native cryptocurrency, Hedera HBAR. This launch is part of Valour’s broader strategy to increase the availability of digital asset products on traditional exchanges.

Hedera HBAR is the native, energy-efficient cryptocurrency of the public Hedera DLT network. Hedera HBARs are used to pay application transaction fees and protect the network from attack through proof-of-stake and its asynchronous byzantine fault tolerant (aBFT) hashgraph consensus algorithm. HBAR has a market capitalisation of approximately US$3.7 billion and ranks among the top 30 cryptocurrencies globally according to CoinMarketcap.

Hedera is a decentralised, open-source, proof-of-stake public ledger that utilises the leaderless, asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) hashgraph consensus algorithm. It is governed by a collusion-resistant, decentralised council of leading enterprises, universities, and Web3 projects from around the world. Hedera is built differently from other blockchains. It has high throughput with fast finality; low, predictable fees; fair transaction ordering with consensus timestamps; and a robust codebase that ensures scalability and reliability at every layer of its network infrastructure. Hedera is governed responsibly by the world’s leading organisations to ensure the network is collusion-resistant.

“The Hashgraph Association is pleased to engage with Valour to launch this first ever Valour Hedera (HBAR) ETP out of Europe. This achievement is in line with our aim to bring institutional investors to Web3 and to enable them to invest in bankable digital assets as an innovative and alternative investment for portfolio diversification. Investors are able to enter the digital assets realm through this structured and regulatory compliant ETP offered by Valour. For the environmentally conscious and ESG investor, HBAR is also the world’s most energy-efficient utility token used for paying application transaction fees and protecting the Hedera distributed ledger technology (“DLT“) network.” says Stefan Deiss, Co-Founder & Board Director of The Hashgraph Association.

“The launch of Valour Hedera (HBAR) represents a double world premiere. For the first time, the crypto asset Hedera can be integrated into any traditional portfolio or bank account as easily and transparently as any other share or bond. Additionally, for the first time ever, the bell for a crypto ETP will be rung in the certificates area of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. We are very grateful to The Hashgraph Association for selecting us for such a world premiere,” added Marco A. Infuso, Chief Sales Officer at Valour Europe AG.

If You Missed BONK and PEPE This Year, This Viral New Crypto Might Be Your Salvation

If You Missed BONK and PEPE This Year, This Viral New Crypto Might Be Your Salvation

Bonk and Pepe appear set to net new investors 10x to 100x returns over the next 12 months. However, cryptocurrencies in the DeFi play-to-earn gaming sector could offer even greater returns. As August approaches, Rollblock is emerging as a standout DeFi play-to-earn gem with the potential to 100x-1000x gains in the fourth quarter and beyond.

The project features an innovative revenue sharing model and exceptional accessibility, attracting players and investors. Additionally, Rollblock’s extensive game library of over 150 titles and enhanced sports betting are further driving excitement for the platform. Cryptocurrency analysts are expecting a sudden surge in demand. 800% a push for Rollblock from the beginning of September.

Bonk remains strong despite market fluctuations

While most well-known cryptocurrencies struggled throughout July, Bonk remained strong. As one of the highest-grossing meme cryptocurrencies of 2024, Bonk rose over 24% in July, while most cryptocurrencies experienced negative fluctuations.

Investors looking to add a relatively safe memecoin to their portfolio should consider Bonk. While Bonk is unlikely to generate explosive gains of 250x to 1,000x from here on out, Bonk could still theoretically provide returns in the 20x to 100x range.

Pepe should see a big rise in the next bull run

Alongside Bonk, Pepe has yet to go through a bull run. This means that there are still substantial gains to be made from Pepe over the next 12 months.

Pepe is down 4% in 30 days, but that shouldn’t worry Pepe investors in 2024. Experts believe Pepe’s best days are still ahead, with crypto analysts predicting a 10x to 50x surge in the next election cycle around November.

In the long term, Pepe could surpass the 100x mark for today’s investors. However, Pepe is a memecoin, and one should exercise caution when investing in purely speculative assets that have no utility.

Rollblock’s Unprecedented Hype Potential Could Push It Past 100x Valuation in Q4

Rollblock is a GambleFi Play-to-Earn token that integrates centralized and decentralized gambling on a single platform. By allowing players to earn rewards through active participation and gameplay, the platform creates a compelling incentive structure that appeals to both casual and competitive players.

With its cutting-edge blockchain technology, Rollblock offers top-notch security that keeps bets and transactions on the platform secure. The platform’s lack of KYC mandates appeals to both users who value anonymity and security.

Rollblock’s revenue sharing model, which allocates up to 30% of casino revenue to RBLK token holders, is a major draw for investors. The model involves burning half of the repurchased tokens and distributing the other half to stakers, increasing the token’s value and encouraging long-term investment.

The platform is also constantly evolving thanks to user feedback which has enabled updates such as the upcoming sports betting feature within the platform’s casino. This addition will complement Rollblock’s extensive game library of over 150 titles, ranging from traditional poker to innovative blockchain-based games.

RBLK is expected to emerge as one of the leading DeFi tokens in 2024. With a price of $0.0172 with impressive growth potential and over 140 million tokens sold recently, Rollblock is on track to enter the top 100 cryptocurrencies by Q4, making today a lucrative time to buy RBLK tokens.

Cryptocurrency sector is experiencing ‘most misjudged moment’ since 2020, says venture capitalist Arthur Cheong

Cryptocurrency sector is experiencing ‘most misjudged moment’ since 2020, says venture capitalist Arthur Cheong

Veteran cryptocurrency investor Arthur Cheong believes the digital asset sector offers long-term holders a golden opportunity.

Cheong, the founder of DeFiance Capital, tell His 171,700 followers on social media platform X indicate that he believes decentralized finance (DeFi) is hugely undervalued.

According to Cheong, DeFi projects are innovating at a rapid pace and leaving traditional financial (TradFi) companies in the dust.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about the risk/reward and potential upside of DeFi. This is probably the most misjudged moment since the pre-DeFi summer of 2020, with extremely promising prospects.

I see opportunities not only in OG (original) DeFi, but also in some newer projects that are evolving rapidly and growing at a pace that fintech startups will do anything to match.

The veteran investor also believes that crypto is now here to stay following recent launch from the Ethereum spot market (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last week.

“Overall, the floodgates are open and there is no turning back. TradFi asset managers will continue to launch new crypto products because, guess what: there is huge demand for them!”

I expect them to launch actively managed crypto ETFs [in the] coming years. ”

Earlier this month, Cheong laid that it might be a bad strategy for cryptocurrencies to seek mass adoption, believing that digital assets are designed to disrupt several key financial sectors.

“I think we should accept that cryptocurrencies may not be suited for mass adoption like Web2, but rather are optimized for some narrow but very high-impact use cases like stateless global money, cross-border payments, and decentralized finance.

Chasing mass adoption of normies may be chasing the wrong Grail from the start.
