TORONTO, Oct. 6, 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") reported assets under management ("AUM") of $987 million as of September 30, 2025. This reflects a 1.3% increase month-over-month, driven by rising digital asset prices and continued net inflows into Valour's ETPs.
Net Inflows and Investor Confidence
In September, Valour recorded net inflows of $23.6 million, its second-highest monthly total of 2025, continuing its trend of consistent monthly inflows regardless of market conditions. Year-to-date, total net inflows have reached $115.3 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 BTC, SUI, and DOGE, drove performance. Key contributors include:
- VALOUR BTC SEK: $7,608,542
- VALOUR SUI SEK: $3,524,015
- VALOUR DOGE SEK: $2,862,645
- VALOUR AVAX SEK: $1,170,926
- VALOUR HYPE SEK: $1,166,935
- VALOUR SEI SEK: $1,129,542
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 trading, staking, management fees, and trade-flow arbitrage. In addition to management fees, Valour retains staking yields as revenue, capturing value directly from the digital assets held in its ETPs. This vertically integrated model enables recurring, protocol-driven revenue as AUM grows. As of September 30, 2025, Valour's ETPs with the highest AUM were:
- VALOUR SOL: $309,983,920
- VALOUR BTC: $288,168,974
- VALOUR ETH: $88,330,268
- VALOUR XRP: $58,070,705
- VALOUR SUI: $54,327,760
- VALOUR ADA: $53,829,441
- VALOUR AVAX: $20,917,962
- VALOUR HBAR: $16,113,938
- VALOUR DOGE: $12,818,836
- VALOUR DOT: $11,881,328
Valour's Global Expansion and Strategic Market Development
Valour continues to expand its global footprint as a leader in regulated digital asset products, with 99 ETPs listed across exchanges in Europe and the UK. Upcoming launches, including leveraged and warrant-based structures, will further broaden investor access.
In parallel, Valour continues to advance its strategy of entering high-growth emerging markets across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, securing a first-mover advantage in key jurisdictions. This proactive expansion reinforces Valour's long-term commitment to accelerating global adoption of regulated digital asset investment products.
Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB)
DeFi Technologies launched a NCIB on August 22, 2025 to repurchase up to 10% of its public float (31,673,791 shares) via open-market purchases on Nasdaq, Cboe Canada, and other Canadian ATSs. The program commenced August 26, 2025 and runs to August 26, 2026 (or earlier if completed). 260,000 shares were purchased to September 30, 2025, with all repurchased shares cancelled and purchases filed on www.sedi.ca. The Company appointed Ventum Financial Corp. to coordinate the NCIB program.
Recent Strategic Developments from September include:
DeFi Technologies Announces Closing of US$100 Million Registered Direct Offering
DeFi Technologies announced the closing of a US$100 million registered direct offering led by cornerstone investor Galaxy Digital. Investors purchased 45,662,101 common shares and warrants to buy up to 34,246,577 additional shares at a combined US$2.19 per share and three-quarters of a warrant. Each warrant is exercisable immediately at US$2.63 (120% of the offering price; a 20% premium) and has a three-year term with an acceleration feature. Gross proceeds total US$100 million; the Company plans to use net proceeds to expand Valour's ETP lineup, pursue digital-asset trading, lending and staking transactions, fund potential acquisitions, and advance recently announced growth initiatives. Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC served as the exclusive placement agent.
DeFi Technologies invested in and partnered with Canada Stablecorp to help scale QCAD alongside Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, Side Door Ventures, and other industry leaders. With RPAA oversight of payment service providers taking effect on September 8, 2025, and growing attention from the Bank of Canada and FCAC as retail CBDC work remains paused, compliant CAD stablecoins are positioned for payments, cross-border trade, payroll, and treasury use. Execution includes launching QCAD-integrated products through Valour, naming Stillman Digital as a preferred liquidity provider for on/off-ramps and mint/redeem flows, and collaborating with BTQ Technologies on a post-quantum security roadmap, subject to certain conditions. These steps expand DeFi Technologies' addressable market, add recurring fee and spread revenue opportunities, and reinforce its role as a compliant bridge between TradFi and DeFi.
DeFi Technologies and SovFi announced a full-stack sovereign finance framework and a new class of principal-protected, capital-appreciating sovereign instruments targeting the $100T+ sovereign debt market. The structure converts bond coupons into Bitcoin via a patent-pending process inside a regulated ETP issued exclusively through Valour—while principal remains intact, so investors receive principal plus accrued Bitcoin at maturity. Roles are defined across the group: SovFi designs the instruments; Valour creates, issues, and lists them; DeFi Technologies provides issuance, liquidity, analytics, and tokenization (with Stillman Digital and Reflexivity Research); and BTQ enables post-quantum-secure settlement. The framework is designed to help countries reduce debt, attract foreign direct investment, and deepen market liquidity, with tokenization-ready units and an option for a public vehicle to aggregate baskets for concentrated liquidity. Illustrative economics per $1B notional highlight recurring issuer revenues from bond and Bitcoin sleeves plus staking, alongside modeled investor outcomes that exceed traditional coupon-only bonds.
Valour listed thirteen new SEK-denominated ETPs on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market: PEPE, FLR, VIRTUAL, OP, IP (Story), IMX, QNT, GRT, FLOKI, THETA, FORM, IOTA, and HYPE, each offering regulated, exchange-traded exposure with a 1.9% management fee. The additions brought Valour's lineup to 99 listed ETPs across major European venues, reinforcing what the Company stated was the largest selection of digital-asset ETPs globally. The expansion broadened compliant access for Nordic investors across Layer-1/Layer-2 infrastructure, interoperability and data protocols, gaming and creator ecosystems, and community tokens, consistent with Valour's strategy to pair institutional standards with wide market coverage.
Valour Digital Securities Limited, launched 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking (1VBS), the world's first physically backed Bitcoin Staking ETP on the London Stock Exchange Main Market. The product offers professional investors regulated, 1:1 physically backed Bitcoin exposure with custody in institutional-grade cold storage (via Copper) and a 1.4% annual staking yield reflected daily in NAV. Valour emphasizes transparency through daily publication of NAV, Bitcoin entitlements, and indicative prices, and broadened access with listings in GBP on the LSE and a EUR share class on Xetra. The milestone reinforced DeFi Technologies' mission to bridge decentralized finance with traditional capital markets by delivering secure, yield-generating Bitcoin exposure in a fully regulated wrapper.
DeFi Technologies announced it invested in Continental Stablecoin Inc. (CSI), alongside Coinbase Ventures, Adaverse, and other industry leaders, to advance regulated local-currency stablecoins across Africa with an initial focus on Nigeria's cNGN. Nigeria led global stablecoin usage last month, driven by demand for USD-pegged assets, cross-border payments, and clearer rules; cNGN, issued by Wrapped CBDC Limited, had ~602.9 million tokens in circulation as of September 15, 2025, with more than 75,000 on-chain transactions and ~20.1 billion cNGN in cumulative volume. The investment was intended to align with DeFi Technologies' strategy to support compliant, bank- and fintech-ready digital-asset infrastructure, and it complemented the Company's broader platform spanning Valour ETPs in Europe and digital-asset treasury solutions through DeFi Advisory.
