ICP Strengthens Above $5.50 as Valour Launches Staking ETP on SIX Exchange
Internet Computer (ICP) continues to build momentum, trading at $5.58 after gaining nearly 1% in the past 24 hours. The token has held firm above key support at $5.50 as institutional interest climbs, supported by a major development in Europe.
Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies (DEFT), has officially listed its 1Valour Internet Computer ETP on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The product gives institutional investors regulated access to ICP, including native staking rewards—marking a significant step forward for traditional finance adoption of blockchain yield strategies.
The listing comes as AI-linked tokens gain steam, and ICP is positioning itself at the intersection of both the AI and staking narratives. The launch of the Caffeine platform—an AI tool that enables dapp development via natural language—has further boosted ICP’s appeal within the evolving crypto ecosystem.
According to CoinDesk Research, ICP traded within a $0.29 range between $5.49 and $5.77, a 5.1% swing. Institutional-sized buying emerged at $5.52 and $5.61, with combined volumes exceeding 1.7 million tokens. A sharp move late in the session took prices from $5.68 down to $5.56 before stabilizing.
Technical Breakdown:
- Range: $5.49 – $5.77, a 5.12% move
- Session High: $5.77 reached before pullback
- Support Levels: $5.52 & $5.61 saw high-volume accumulation

With staking now accessible to Swiss institutions and the AI narrative accelerating, ICP appears poised to re-test its local highs.
