TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies") (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: RB9) (OTC: DEFTF), a financial technology company that pioneers the convergence of traditional capital markets with the world of decentralised 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") has achieved a record high in assets under management ("AUM"), reaching C$883 million (US$633 million) as of November 5, 2024. This represents a 73% increase this fiscal year.

Valour's AUM expansion is driven by high demand for its regulated ETP solutions, with net sales exceeding C$120 million (US$86 million) over the past 12 months and benefiting from digital asset price appreciation. This impressive growth reflects rising investor interest and confidence in digital assets, as Valour's ETP solutions provide regulated exposure to the digital asset market.

Aligned with this growth, Valour has expanded its product lineup to 28 ETPs and aims to reach 40 by year-end, with plans to launch 100 ETPs by the end of 2025. Valour is also actively pursuing regulatory approval to expand its offerings into North Africa, the Middle East, and other emerging markets to meet the growing demand for regulated digital asset products.

Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies, commented, "Reaching this AUM milestone is a testament to the increasing confidence in our innovative investment solutions and the broader digital asset market. We are still in the early stages of our growth journey, and with the momentum we're seeing in market demand, we anticipate even stronger tailwinds propelling us forward. Our focus remains on expanding access to regulated digital asset products, and we're excited to build on this foundation in the months and years ahead."

DeFi Alpha Strategy

The Company is currently assessing multiple arbitrage opportunities, having generated C$113.8 million (US$83.4 million) in Q2 and C$19.3 million (US$14.1 million) in Q3 with zero losses to date. This strategy has strengthened the Company's financial position, enabling debt repayment and supporting the deployment of a digital asset treasury strategy.

DeFi Technologies remains financially robust, with cash and USDT holdings of approximately C$12.9 million (US$9.3 million) as of October 31, 2024, primarily due to a recent debt repayment of C$5.5 million (US$4 million), which allowed Valour to eliminate its outstanding debt. The Company has also expanded its digital asset treasury, now holding a diversified portfolio valued at approximately C$43.6 million (US$31.4 million) as of October 31, 2024. This portfolio includes 208.8 BTC, 121 ETH, 496,683 ADA, 111,616 DOT, 13,175 SOL, 490.5 UNI, 433,322 AVAX, and 2,935,203 CORE tokens.
