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 /CNW/ - 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.
Digital Asset Treasury
As part of its vertically integrated model, DeFi Technologies actively manages a diversified digital asset treasury designed to support long-term capital appreciation, strategic flexibility, and balance sheet strength. These holdings complement the Company's core operating businesses—including asset management, staking, and trading—and are acquired using free cash flow generated by the Company, without the need for dilution or leverage.
As of June 30, 2025, DeFi Technologies' digital asset treasury was valued at approximately US$48.4 million (C$66 million). The portfolio includes direct exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other high-conviction tokens aligned with the Company's long-term outlook on digital infrastructure. In addition, the Company holds approximately US$14 million (C$19 million) in cash and USDT, providing strategic flexibility to expand or rebalance its treasury as market conditions evolve.
The portfolio breakdown is as follows as of June 30, 2025:
This robust treasury strategy not only strengthens the Company's financial foundation but also enhances its ability to capitalize on future growth opportunities and aligns with its goal of building long-term shareholder value.

1 Reason to Buy Robinhood Markets (HOOD) Stock
Key Points Robinhood is attracting new customers at a rapid clip. Revenue grew 45% in Q2, yet Robinhood still offers a limited range of services compared to big brokers. As it continues to roll out new features, Robinhood could see an avalanche of asset growth. 10 stocks we like better than Robinhood Markets › Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) is breaking a new mold in the fintech market. The stock has rocketed 490% higher over the past year, sending its market cap toward $100 billion. While the stock might look overbought after such a steep rally, its customer assets are still very small compared to other leading financial service companies, which leaves plenty of room for the company (and stock) to grow in value over the long term. The more services Robinhood brings customers, the more it grows Robinhood's platform assets have increased from $89 billion in the second quarter of 2023 to $279 billion in Q2 2025. With fee-generating services like Robinhood Gold continuing to gain traction, revenue grew 45% year over year in the second quarter to $989 million. This is why the stock is still a buy at these highs. Robinhood is seeing this much growth while offering limited services compared to big brokers like Schwab. As it catches up, Robinhood could grow into a multitrillion-dollar financial services company. Robinhood's pace of new announcements has been remarkable. In the first quarter, it rolled out index options to all customers, and it followed that up in the second quarter with the launch of stock tokens in Europe, allowing those customers to trade over 200 U.S. stocks in the form of tokenized contracts on a blockchain. By the end of the third quarter, Robinhood plans to launch its new banking service too. These are just a few of the many announcements the company has made recently. As it continues to launch new trading products, including its Cortex AI -powered trading tool later this year, its platform assets will likely continue to grow. There are several products, including fixed-income securities, that Robinhood can eventually tap into to further support its growth. For perspective, Schwab has over $10 trillion in client assets. I wouldn't bet against Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev's ability to grow Robinhood into one of country's largest brokerage services. The stock still offers tremendous long-term upside.
