TORONTO, May 6, 2025 /CNW/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the " Company" or " DeFi Technologies") (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B) (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") reports assets under management (" AUM") of C$988M (US$715M) as of April 30, 2025. This reflects an 11.7% increase from the previous month, driven by rising digital asset prices and net inflows of C$10.8 million (US$7.8 million).
Net Inflows and Investor Confidence
In April, Valour recorded strong net inflows of C$10.8 million (US$7.8 million), continuing its trend of consistent monthly inflows regardless of market conditions. Year-to-date, total net inflows have reached C$81.1 million (US$58.7 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 XRP, SUI and, ETH, 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
Through its subsidiary Valour, DeFi Technologies monetizes its assets under management (AUM) primarily through staking and management fees. Valour retains all staking yields as revenue, capturing value directly from the underlying digital assets held in its ETPs, in addition to low management fees.
For the fiscal year ended 2024, Valour generated C$35.7 million (US$25.5 million) in staking and lending income and C$8.8 million (US$6.3 million) in management fees—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 is making significant strides in expanding its global footprint, solidifying its position as a leader in the regulated digital asset space. With over 60 ETPs now listed across European and United Kingdom exchanges, Valour plans to increase its total ETP listings to 100 products by the end of 2025, including new offerings such as leveraged and warrant products. This expansion not only enhances Valour's product portfolio but also strengthens its ability to meet the growing demand for regulated digital asset products.
As Valour continues to diversify and broaden its reach, the Company is also strategically entering new markets outside of Europe. This expansion into regions such as Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging areas offers Valour a first-mover advantage. This proactive market approach is a critical differentiator, allowing Valour to be at the forefront of digital asset adoption in key regions with significant growth potential.
Strong Financial Position
As of April 30, 2025, the Company maintained a strong financial position:
Cash and USDT Balance: Approximately C$15.4 million (US$11.1 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 C$46.5M (US$33.6M). The Company may choose to rebalance or expand its treasury at any time using its available C$61.9M (US$44.7M) in cash, USDT, and other treasury holdings.
These amounts do not include the DeFi Arbitrage trade completed as of May 5, 2025
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 February include:

Opinion: Mixed fleet of fighter jets not the answer for Canada's Air Force
By Alexander Lanoszka, Richard Shimooka and Balkan Devlen Article content The proverbial canary in the mine of U.S.-Canada defence co-operation is grey, flies as fast as Mach 1.6, and has a very low radar signature. Article content Article content Canada has named the F-35 — Lockheed Martin's fifth-generation multipurpose fighter jet — not once, not twice, but thrice as the CF-18s' intended replacement. Alas, the stealth fighter's procurement has come under scrutiny again in view of U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated wish to see Canada become the 51st state. Article content Hence, in his first days on the job, Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered yet another review. However, there was a ray of hope on June 10, when David McGuinty, Carney's new defence minister, issued a statement that made no mention of reviewing the contract. Instead, he said, 'this project will provide Canada with an invaluable air defence capability … well into the future.' Article content Article content Let's hope the government sticks with that plan. Given the history of this procurement, it continues to merit close scrutiny. Article content Politicians and international security analysts from across the political spectrum have supported Carney's temporizing. From their perspective, the U.S. now represents at best an unreliable ally and at worst a territorial menace. Canada would thus be better off acquiring other aircraft made by purportedly more trustworthy European allies. Recognizing that it may be too late to cancel, some propose Canada should acquire a mixed fleet — with either French-made Rafales or Swedish-made Gripens — so as not to rely exclusively on the U.S.-produced aircraft. Article content As Ottawa considers the implications of the June 10 auditor general's report, which found the estimated cost of replacing the F-18s has ballooned to $27.7 billion, it should note that a mixed fleet of fighter jets remains a terrible idea. Much of the costs are exogenous to the F-35 (like rebuilding dilapidated infrastructure), and would be borne by any fighter selected. It further underestimates the complex technologies involved, and takes too optimistic a view of what European defence contractors can provide. Tens of billions of public money could be wasted if Canada chooses a mixed fleet. Article content Article content The idea may sound reasonable. By many attributes — speed, payload, range — the Rafale and Gripen seem comparable to the F-35, thereby making them appear interchangeable. Moreover, diversity in suppliers makes sense to provide resilience over matters related to sovereignty. Article content First, despite overlapping capabilities, these aircraft have become so technologically complex that they have little interchangeability. Each aircraft has its own training program: F-35 pilots and support personnel cannot simply operate Gripens. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) would have to offer two distinct training pipelines. Considering it already suffers from a severe pilot shortfall, a bifurcated training regime would further strain personnel capacity. Similarly, each aircraft requires its own logistical supply chain. Aircraft inevitably suffer from wear and tear, even in benign conditions, and their components are not interchangeable between fleets.
