Insights

Blockchain Investment Analyst

DeFi Tech achieves record SUI holdings, generating sustainable yield through a differentiated dual-revenue model that's driving profitability.

DeFi Technologies has established a notably successful position in the SUI ecosystem, with their SUI AUM reaching an all-time high of US$63.5 million, reflecting a 54% increase since June 30. This growth isn't merely about asset accumulation – it represents a sophisticated dual-revenue strategy that few competitors have mastered.

What makes their approach particularly valuable is the vertical integration across their business model. While traditional ETPs simply track asset performance, Valour's products generate both management fees (1.9% for SUI) and staking yields (3.3% for SUI). This creates a recurring revenue stream that doesn't require dilution or external capital – a critical differentiator in capital-intensive crypto markets.

The company's treasury strategy further demonstrates their conviction in emerging Layer 1 ecosystems. Their SUI position has grown to US$20.2 million, representing a 41% month-over-month increase. This makes SUI their second-largest holding after Bitcoin, reflecting a calculated bet on next-generation blockchain infrastructure.

Their overall blended yield of approximately 8% across all staked AUM is particularly impressive in the current market environment. This yield-generating capability creates a sustainable growth engine that compounds over time as their AUM expands. The diverse treasury – including BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, and others – provides both strategic flexibility and multiple yield-generating opportunities.

While the company doesn't disclose exact profitability figures in this release, their emphasis on being "one of the only profitable, cash-generating public crypto companies" suggests they've achieved what many competitors haven't: a sustainable business model in a highly volatile sector.

• Valour's SUI AUM Hits Record High of US$63.5M (C$87.1M): Reflecting a 54% increase since June 30, driven by investor demand and interest in emerging Layer 1 ecosystems like SUI.Valour's SUI ETP is also among the fastest-growing products in its portfolio of over 75 exchange-traded products (ETPs). 
• DeFi Technologies' SUI Treasury Grows to US$20.2M (C$27.7M): Now the Company's second-largest holding after Bitcoin, up 41% month-over-month.
• Recurring Revenue from Yield and Fees: Valour's SUI ETP earns a 3.3% staking yield and 1.9% management fee; the Company's blended yield across all staked AUM is approximately 8%, supporting sustainable, non-dilutive growth, supporting its position as one of the only profitable, cash-generating public crypto companies.

TORONTO, July 16, 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 all-time highs in SUI assets under management (AUM) through its subsidiary Valour Inc. ("Valour"), as well as a significant milestone in the Company's corporate SUI digital asset treasury.

As of July 15, 2025, Valour recorded an all-time high of US$63,545,741 (C$87,166,328) in SUI AUM, representing an increase of approximately 54% since June 30, driven by growing institutional demand and broader market interest in emerging Layer 1 ecosystems. Valour's SUI ETP is also among the fastest-growing products in its portfolio of over 75 exchange-traded products (ETPs).

At the same time, DeFi Technologies' corporate treasury holdings of 4,913,918 SUI also reached an all-time high of approximately US$20.2 million (C$27.7 million), up roughly 41% since June 30, making SUI the Company's second-largest digital asset holding, behind only Bitcoin.

"Our SUI strategy continues to deliver, both in terms of market performance and treasury growth," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. "As with Bitcoin, we're not just holding SUI—we're monetizing it through our vertically integrated infrastructure across asset management, trading, and staking. We're proud to be among the first to offer newly launched tokens like SUI as regulated ETPs, and this momentum is core to our roadmap of bringing 100 high-conviction digital assets to traditional markets through secure, compliant investment vehicles."

What is SUI?

SUI is a high-performance, Layer 1 blockchain designed for speed, scalability, and user-friendly development. Built by former Meta engineers, SUI enables fast and cost-efficient execution of decentralized applications and smart contracts. Its novel consensus mechanism and object-centric architecture position it as one of the most promising chains in the next generation of blockchain infrastructure.

Staking SUI for Yield

Valour monetizes its AUM through a combination of staking yields and management fees, converting passive exposure into recurring revenue. Unlike traditional ETP issuers, Valour retains staking rewards as income—capturing value directly from the digital assets held within its products, alongside the fees charged to investors.

Valour's SUI ETP exemplifies this model, generating a 1.9% management fee and a 3.3% annual staking yield on SUI under management. This dual-revenue structure supports DeFi Technologies' vertically integrated strategy, reinforcing its ability to systematically monetize AUM.

Across its entire staked AUM, Valour earns a blended yield of approximately 8%, further enhancing the Company's profitability and ability to scale without relying on dilution or external capital.

SUI: A Strategic Addition to the Corporate Treasury

DeFi Technologies continues to strategically expand and manage its diversified digital asset treasury in alignment with its long-term investment thesis on digital infrastructure. As of June 30, 2025, the total treasury was valued at approximately US$48.4 million (C$66 million), with positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and other high-conviction tokens.

The growth of SUI to US$20.2 million (C$27.7 million), now the Company's second-largest position, reflects its growing strategic importance and market relevance.

In addition to its crypto holdings, the Company also maintains approximately US$14 million (C$19 million) in cash and USDT, offering flexibility to rebalance or expand the treasury as market conditions evolve.

This growth reflects DeFi Technologies' ability to capitalize on emerging ecosystems while maintaining a disciplined, revenue-generating approach to digital asset management.
