TORONTO, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies") (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, "Valour"), a leading issuer of exchange traded products ("ETPs") reports assets under management ("AUM") of US$812 million (C$1.1 billion) as of May 30, 2025. This reflects a 13.5% increase from the previous month, driven by rising digital asset prices and net inflows of US$12.7 million (C$17.5 million).
Net Inflows and Investor Confidence In May, Valour recorded strong net inflows of US$12.7 million (C$17.5 million), continuing its trend of consistent monthly inflows regardless of market conditions. Year-to-date, total net inflows have reached US$71.4 million (C$99.3 million), highlighting accelerating investor demand for Valour's ETPs. This sustained momentum reflects growing investor confidence and reinforces the appeal of Valour's diverse product lineup. Key Products Driving Inflows A combination of established and newer ETP listings, including ETH, SUI and XRP, drove the exceptional performance. Key contributors include:
These inflows highlight Valour's leadership in providing access to diverse digital assets. Valour's Top ETPs by AUM Valour monetizes its AUM primarily through staking and management fees. Valour retains staking yields as revenue, capturing value directly from the underlying digital assets held in its ETPs, in addition to management fees. In Q1 2025, Valour generated staking and lending income of US$10.0 million (C$14.0 million) and management fees of US$2.6 million (C$3.6 million), demonstrating the strength of its vertically integrated model and its ability to generate recurring, protocol-driven revenue from its growing AUM base.
Valour's Global Expansion and Strategic Market Development Valour continues to expand its global footprint as a leader in regulated digital asset products. With over 65 ETPs currently listed across European and UK exchanges, the Company remains on track to reach 100 listed products by the end of 2025. Upcoming launches include leveraged and warrant-based structures, further broadening investor access. In parallel, Valour is strategically entering emerging markets across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, securing a first-mover advantage in jurisdictions with significant growth potential. This proactive expansion underscores Valour's long-term commitment to driving global adoption of regulated digital asset investment vehicles. Strong Financial Position As of May 30, 2025, the Company maintained a strong financial position: Cash and USDT Balance: Approximately US$17.02 million (C$23.4 million). Loans Payable: Approximately C$8.6 million (US$6 million), unchanged from the previous month, primarily attributed to the ongoing Genesis restructuring Digital Asset Treasury The Company maintained a diversified treasury portfolio. The portfolio's total value stood at approximately US$53.9 million (C$74 million). The Company may choose to rebalance or expand its treasury at any time using its available US$70.9 million (C$97.4 million) in cash, USDT, and other treasury holdings. During the period, the Company increased its positions in CORE, ADA, and ETH, and added SUI as a new treasury asset.
DeFi Alpha Strategy The Company continues to assess and execute on arbitrage opportunities through its specialized trading desk, DeFi Alpha. Since its launch in Q2 2024, DeFi Alpha has generated a total of C$162.4 million (US$118.8 million) in revenue, including a one-time arbitrage trade announced on May 5, 2025, that delivered C$30.3 million (US$22 million). This strategy has significantly strengthened the Company's financial position, enabling debt repayment and supporting the ongoing expansion of its digital asset treasury. Recent Strategic Developments from May include: DeFi Technologies reported a one-time return of approximately C$30.3 million (US$22 million) from an arbitrage trade executed by its specialized trading desk, DeFi Alpha. The return will be reflected in the Company's Q2 2025 financial statements, strengthening its overall liquidity position. This strategic execution underscores DeFi Alpha's ability to capitalize on market inefficiencies and reinforces DeFi Technologies' commitment to disciplined trading strategies that deliver shareholder value. DeFi Technologies announced a strategic joint venture and lead equity investment in Fire Labs, a stablecoin infrastructure provider backed by America First Technology (AFT), marking the Company's entry into the Real-World Asset (RWA) space. The initiative involves launching a fully regulated, USD-backed stablecoin issued by a U.S. chartered bank, with Kraken Embed serving as a key integration partner to facilitate institutional access. Fire Labs' overcollateralized model—backed by 105% reserves—and companion yield-bearing token are designed for compliant, institutional-grade deployment. DeFi Technologies will participate in revenue through fees, yield sharing, and ecosystem integration. The Company also completed a 19.5% minority investment in AFT, further solidifying its position in regulated digital finance infrastructure. DeFi Technologies reaffirmed its US$201.07 million (C$285.6 million) revenue guidance for fiscal 2025, excluding non-operational accounting adjustments related to previously acquired locked Solana and Avalanche tokens. As of May 23, Valour's Solana ETP became the Company's largest product by AUM at US$274.9 million (C$377.5 million), positioning it as the third-largest Solana fund in Europe. DeFi Technologies remains the largest institutional asset manager of Solana in North America, generating up to US$33 million (C$45.3 million) in annualized revenue through MEV-optimized validators, staking, and proprietary monetization strategies—more than any other asset manager or public Solana holder globally. Valour launched the Valour Curve DAO (CRV) and Valour Litecoin (LTC) SEK ETPs on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market, expanding its presence in the Nordic region. With over 65 ETPs now listed, Valour continues to execute on its roadmap to 100 products, with new offerings—including TRX, XLM, BTC 2x, and ETH 2x—set to launch in the coming months. The Company's growing suite of regulated ETPs reinforces its position as a European market leader, providing investors with secure and diversified exposure to digital assets.
