South Africa’s largest crypto exchange, VALR, has launched a new investment product bundling Bitcoin and tokenized gold. The VALR Bitcoin and Gold Bundle (BITGOLD) offers equal exposure to both assets, which are automatically rebalanced monthly. This product aims to provide a simplified, low-maintenance way for investors to combine Bitcoin’s growth potential with gold’s historical role as a safe-haven asset.
VALR, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Africa by volume, announced the launch of its new Crypto Bundle on March 11th, 2026. The VALR Bitcoin and Gold Bundle (BITGOLD) provides simplified exposure to both Bitcoin and tokenized gold (XAUT) in a single balanced product.
These bundles consist of selected assets with allocations rebalanced regularly to maintain target weights. The BITGOLD bundle is rebalanced monthly to deliver a low-maintenance investment experience without requiring active trading from users.
The bundle equally allocates to Bitcoin, viewed as digital financial innovation, and tokenized gold, a centuries-old store of value. Bitcoin has shown strong long-term growth despite volatility, while gold prices have risen steadily in recent years, reaching over $5,000 per ounce.
“Investors increasingly seek ways to hedge against uncertainty while capturing innovation in digital assets,” said VALR’s Co-Founder and CEO, Farzam Ehsani. The BITGOLD bundle seeks to balance Bitcoin’s potential for significant upside with gold’s established reputation for preserving value.
Founded in 2018, VALR is licensed by South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and serves over 1.7 million registered users. The exchange offers a full range of products including spot trading, futures, and staking services as stated on its website.
The company emphasized that trading crypto assets is risky and may result in capital loss. More details and risk disclosures are available regarding VALR‘s Crypto Bundles.
