VALR Rolls Out Bitcoin–Gold Crypto Bundle in South Africa

Key Highlights

  • VALR launched the BITGOLD bundle, combining Bitcoin and tokenized gold into a single investment product in South Africa.
  • The bundle is automatically rebalanced every month, keeping Bitcoin and gold at equal parts without active trading.
  • The product aims to give investors growth potential from Bitcoin and stability from gold, offering a simple, balanced investment.

VALR, a crypto exchange based in South Africa, announced today that it has launched a new crypto bundle called the VALR Bitcoin and Gold Bundle, also known as BITGOLD. 

According to the official announcement, the bundle intends to give investors access to both Bitcoin and tokenized gold (XAUT) in one balanced product. The product aims to provide a simple way for people to invest in these assets without having to manage each one separately.

Introducing BITGOLD on VALR.

BITGOLD is a crypto bundle combining Bitcoin and tokenised gold (XAUT) @tethergold, offering diversified exposure to two assets that have historically helped hedge against inflation, currency debasement, and global uncertainty.

Balancing two different types of investments

The BITGOLD is structured to make investing simple by automatically adjusting the holdings every month. This keeps the balance between Bitcoin and gold without requiring users to trade themselves. VALR said the investment focuses on the two assets because Bitcoin has shown strong gains over the past five years, although it remains highly volatile.

Gold, on the other hand, has steadily grown in value, especially in recent months, influenced by global events and economic factors.

By putting both together, BITGOLD gives investors the chance to benefit from Bitcoin’s possible big gains while being supported by gold’s stability.

Easy investing with rebalancing

VALR’s Crypto Bundles are built to offer diversified exposure to different assets. Each bundle contains selected assets, and the mix is rebalanced regularly following a specific method. 

This approach makes investing easier because users do not have to manage each asset on their own. For the BITGOLD bundle, the rebalancing happens every month, keeping Bitcoin and gold at equal parts, to ensure that the investments stay aligned with the bundle’s goals without any extra effort from users. 

“The BITGOLD bundle makes it simple for people to invest in both digital and traditional assets at the same time. Investors increasingly seek ways to hedge against uncertainty while capturing innovation in digital assets. BITGOLD merges Bitcoin’s growth potential with gold’s proven store of value over several millennia,” said Farzam Ehsani, VALR’s Co-Founder and CEO.

Why it matters

With constant volatility in the finance market, products like BITGOLD are ideal for new investors who would like to access multiple assets without having to buy each individually. 

Moreover, the combination of both gold and Bitcoin appeals to those who want high potential returns and long-term security in their investments. With more investors looking for safe haven investments in the digital and traditional sectors, BITGOLD could be a simple solution for achieving the best of both worlds.
