Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ) chief executive Gary Cottle talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s next phase of growth following the completion of a transaction that adds $200 million to its balance sheet, and how that capital supports Valereum’s strategy across tokenisation, markets infrastructure and banking-as-a-service. Cottle explained that Valereum has built a strong pipeline of transactions, with several announcements expected in the near term. He noted that some of these opportunities have been in development for several months and are now reaching the point where they can be taken to market, while others remain in the middle of negotiations, with commercial terms broadly agreed but mandates still pending. The chief executive also discussed progress at Valereum Markets, including transactions that are now ready to move forward following regulatory approvals in El Salvador. He said the company is working to balance focus and flexibility as it positions itself as a payments and financial infrastructure provider, while also pursuing investment-style opportunities that may take longer to deliver revenue. Cottle outlined how Valereum is seeking to connect tokenisation with banking-as-a-service, highlighting the early stages of real-world asset tokenisation and growing momentum across areas such as real estate and natural resources. He pointed to increasing activity across the sector as platforms and participants move from development into execution. “We’ve really got the build out of what is the distribution platforms,” Cottle said, adding that Valereum expects to make further announcements as these capabilities are rolled out. Looking ahead, Cottle said Valereum expects to remain active over the coming months as it works through its pipeline and looks to leverage the experience of partners such as Quorium Global Photonics (QGP), while continuing to bring structured and distributed tokenised transactions to market.
