South Africa’s leading crypto platform Luno has launched SA’s first bundle combining market-leading crypto and top tokenised US stocks in a single investment. This provides investors with diversified exposure to two established asset classes through a single purchase.

Luno’s Blue Chip+ bundle offers a curated mix of 20% Bitcoin, 10% Ethereum, and 70% blue-chip US stocks, including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Google, Tesla and Amazon.

“The Blue Chip+ Bundle is designed to balance growth and resilience by spreading your investment across leading tech stocks and established crypto assets. Each asset is weighted to reflect its role in the portfolio, helping you stay diversified while managing risk. It’s a first-of-its-kind solution that gives South Africans sophisticated diversification in a single click through one rand-based transaction,” said Christo de Wit, Country Manager for South Africa at Luno.

Luno Bundles are collections of digital assets that investors can buy. Each bundle is automatically maintained, providing diversified investment exposure that’s fast, effortless and easy. Blue Chip+ specifically targets investors who want to diversify beyond pure crypto holdings while maintaining exposure to digital assets.

“You can access global markets without currency conversions, offshore allowances, or waiting for US trading hours. With the BlueChip+ Bundle, you can get instant exposure to market leaders across both crypto and equity markets,” says de Wit.

Strong appetite for tokenised stocks

Since Luno launched tokenised stocks in August 2025, uptake has been remarkable, with over 30 000 investors, and Tesla tokenised stocks representing the largest holdings by value at almost R24 million.

Luno’s platform now offers 61 US tokenised stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Blue Chip+ Bundle leverages this growing ecosystem to deliver a hybrid investment for the South African market.

How it works

The tokenised stocks in Blue Chip+ are fully backed by real shares held in regulated custody through Luno’s integration with global partners, including Kraken’s xStocks and Backed Finance. All dividends are automatically reinvested.  Bitcoin and Ethereum components are held in Luno’s secure custody infrastructure. The bundle is rebalanced automatically each quarter to maintain the target allocation percentages.

Blue Chip+ is available exclusively through the Luno app for investors in South Africa.

Valour launches bitcoin staking ETP on London Stock Exchange

Valour launches bitcoin staking ETP on London Stock Exchange

The post Valour launches bitcoin staking ETP on London Stock Exchange appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Valour Digital Securities, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, has launched its Bitcoin Physical Staking exchange-traded product (ETP) on the London Stock Exchange, the firm announced on Friday. The listing expands Valour’s yield-bearing bitcoin product beyond mainland Europe, where it has traded since November 2024 on Germany’s Xetra market. The ETP is restricted to professional and institutional investors under current UK regulations, with retail access expected to open on October 8 under new Financial Conduct Authority rules. The product, listed under ticker 1VBS, is physically backed 1:1 by bitcoin held in cold storage with Copper, a regulated custodian. It offers an estimated annual yield of 1.4%, which is distributed by increasing the product’s net asset value (NAV). Yield is generated through a staking process that uses the Core Chain’s Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism. Rewards earned in CORE tokens are converted into bitcoin and added to the ETP’s holdings. Valour has emphasized that while the process involves short-term lockups during stake transactions, the underlying bitcoin is not subject to traditional staking risks such as slashing. The launch comes as the UK begins to loosen restrictions on crypto-linked investment products. Earlier this year, the Financial Conduct Authority moved toward allowing retail access to certain crypto exchange-traded notes and products, a shift that will test demand for regulated, yield-bearing bitcoin exposure.
