DeFi Technologies Reports All-Time High in SUI Assets Under Management and Treasury Holdings
Valour's SUI AUM Surpasses US$63.5 Million (C$87.1 Million); DeFi Technologies' SUI Treasury Hits US$20.2 Million (C$27.7 Million)—Now Its Second Largest Holding After Bitcoin 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 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 /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.

Valour's Bitcoin AUM Hits All-Time High: DeFi Technologies' subsidiary, Valour, reached a record US$302 million (C$413 million) in Bitcoin AUM as of July 14, 2025, driven by continued investor inflows and strong market momentum.

Diversified Digital Asset Treasury & 6.5% BTC Yield: DeFi Technologies maintains a US$48.4 million (C$66 million) digital asset treasury as of June 30, 2025, acquired via free cash flow, and earns a 6.5% APY on staked Bitcoin—supporting its position as one of the only profitable, cash-generating public crypto companies. TORONTO, July 14, 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 announced a significant milestone for its wholly owned subsidiary, Valour Inc. (" Valour"), and its corporate Bitcoin treasury. As of July 13, 2025, Valour has achieved an all-time high of US$302,000,170 (C$413,530,342) in Assets Under Management (" AUM") for its Bitcoin exchange-traded products (" ETPs"), reflecting strong market momentum and continued investor inflows.

A Profitable Bitcoin Treasury Company with Real Revenue DeFi Technologies is one of the few publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies with an underlying operating business. The Company's Bitcoin holdings have been purchased entirely through free cash flow from operating revenue, rather than debt or equity dilution. DeFi Technologies is also one of just three profitable and free cash flow generating publicly listed digital asset companies, thanks to its full-stack monetization strategy that spans asset management, staking, and trading operations. Staking Bitcoin for Yield Through a joint venture with CORE DAO, Valour holds a unique competitive advantage by enabling the staking of Bitcoin under management, generating a 6.5% annual percentage yield (APY) that contributes directly to revenue, further enhancing AUM monetization. Thanks to Core Chain's Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism, Bitcoin staking is non-custodial, allowing holders to earn yield on their BTC without relinquishing custody. Core is a Bitcoin-powered, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that brings Bitcoin finance to life, powering both the first-ever non-custodial BTC staking protocol.

TORONTO, July 7, 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 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 US$771 million (C$1.04 billion) as of June 30, 2025, representing a 5% decrease from the previous month, primarily due to lower digital asset prices. Despite market conditions, Valour continued to generate net inflows, recording US$4.5 million (C$6.2 million) for the month. Net Inflows and Investor Confidence In June, Valour recorded strong net inflows of US$4.5 million (C$6.2 million), continuing its trend of consistent monthly inflows regardless of market conditions. Year-to-date, total net inflows have reached US$75.9 million (C$105.5 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 ETH, SUI and TAO, 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 Valour monetizes its AUM primarily through staking and management fees. Valour retains staking yields as revenue, capturing value directly from the underlying digital assets held in its ETPs, in addition to management fees. In Q1 2025, Valour generated staking and lending income of US$10.0 million (C$14.0 million) and management fees of US$2.6 million (C$3.6 million), demonstrating the strength of its vertically integrated model and its ability to generate recurring, protocol-driven revenue from its growing AUM base. As of June 30, 2025, Valour's ETPs with the highest levels of AUM were as follows: Valour's Global Expansion and Strategic Market Development Valour continues to expand its global footprint as a leader in regulated digital asset products. With over 75 ETPs currently listed across European and UK exchanges, the Company remains on track to reach 100 listed products by the end of 2025. Upcoming launches include leveraged and warrant-based structures, further broadening investor access. In parallel, Valour is strategically entering emerging markets across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, securing a first-mover advantage in jurisdictions with significant growth potential. This proactive expansion underscores Valour's long-term commitment to driving global adoption of regulated digital asset investment vehicles. Strong Financial Position As of June 30, 2025, the Company maintained a strong financial position: Cash and USDT Balance: Approximately US$14 million (C$19 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 US$48.4 million (C$66 million). The Company may choose to rebalance or expand its treasury at any time using its available US$62.4 million (C$85 million) in cash, USDT, and other treasury holdings. 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$155.9 million (US$114.1 million) in revenue, including a one-time arbitrage trade announced on May 5, 2025, that delivered a return of C$23.8 million (US$17.3 million), incorporating a non-cash DLOM valuation adjustment. This strategy has significantly strengthened the Company's financial position, enabling debt repayment and supporting the ongoing expansion of its digital asset treasury. 2025 Financial Outlook: DeFi Technologies' fiscal 2025 revenue forecast of approximately C$285.6 million (US$201.07 million) excludes any decrease or recovery of discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") applied to two private investment funds through which the Company gained exposure to locked Solana and Avalanche tokens ("Locked Tokens"). In fiscal 2024, the Locked Tokens were acquired with a DLOM applied to their fair market value, reflecting their restricted status until 2028. As these tokens unlock, reductions in the DLOM are recognized as revenue; however, given that these adjustments are non-operational in nature, they are excluded from the Company's fiscal 2025 revenue guidance. Recent Strategic Developments from June include: DeFi Technologies Appoints Former Commerzbank CEO Dr. Manfred Knof as Chairman of Valour DeFi Technologies appointed Dr. Manfred Knof, former CEO of Commerzbank AG, as Strategic Advisor to DeFi Technologies and Chairman of Valour. Dr. Knof brings decades of executive leadership in European banking to support Valour's global growth, with a focus on scaling AUM, expanding institutional relationships, and strengthening investor coverage. His appointment reinforces DeFi Technologies' commitment to building trusted, regulated access to digital assets, following its recent Nasdaq listing. DeFi Technologies announced that its subsidiary, Reflexivity Research, entered into a strategic partnership with Beluga, a leading crypto intelligence platform. The collaboration expanded research distribution, strengthened referral networks, and introduced co-branded research and strategic advisory services for token foundations and projects across the digital asset space. The partnership aligned Reflexivity's on-chain research expertise with Beluga's distribution platform to broaden both retail and institutional reach, reinforcing DeFi Technologies' commitment to supporting the growth of the digital asset ecosystem. DeFi Technologies Venture Portfolio Company AMINA Bank Achieved Record Growth in 2024 DeFi Technologies reported record growth from AMINA Bank, a venture portfolio company and Swiss-licensed digital asset bank, with AUM increasing 136% to US$4.2 billion and revenue rising 69% to US$40.4 million in 2024. AMINA achieved quarterly profitability in Q4, maintained zero lending defaults, and grew operations in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong by 150% and 570% year-over-year, respectively. DeFi Technologies invested US$27.35 million in AMINA when AUM was approximately US$1 billion, underscoring its successful strategy of backing regulated, institutional-grade financial infrastructure in the digital asset sector. Valour Launched Four New Digital Asset ETPs on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, launched four new SEK-denominated ETPs for Mantra (OM), Tron (TRX), Stellar (XLM), and Tether Gold (XAUt) on the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden.

DeFi Technologies Venture Portfolio Company AMINA Bank Delivers Record Growth in 2024
Transformational Growth: AMINA Bank, a DeFi Technologies venture portfolio company, grew AUM by 136% to US$4.2B and increased revenue by 69% to US$40.4M in 2024, achieving quarterly profitability in Q4. Strategic Validation: DeFi Technologies made an investment of US27.35M (CHF 25M) when AMINA Bank had approximately US$1B AUM. The growth of AMINA Bank reinforces the Company's venture strategy and conviction in regulated digital asset banking and services. Global Expansion & Resilience: AMINA Bank doubled banking revenues across jurisdictions, grew Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong operations by 150% and 570% YoY respectively, and maintained zero lending defaults and capital ratios far above regulatory requirements. TORONTO, June 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 an update on record-breaking full-year 2024 results by its venture portfolio company, AMINA Bank AG (" AMINA Bank"), a Swiss-licensed digital asset bank. DeFi Technologies holds a 5.07% equity stake in AMINA Bank, having participated in the company's Series C fundraising round with an investment of US$27.35 million (CHF25 million or CAD 34.25 million as of Jan 12, 2022) at a time when AMINA Bank's assets under management (" AUM") stood at approximately US$1 billion. The investment is a core component of DeFi Technologies' DeFi Ventures strategy and reflects the Company's mission to support innovative, institutional-grade financial infrastructure driving digital asset adoption worldwide. Since DeFi Technologies' initial investment, AMINA Bank has executed a global transformation and posted outstanding financial results in 2024, including: AMINA's growth is underpinned by strong fundamentals, with a Liquidity Coverage Ratio of 228% and a CET1 capital ratio of 34% — more than double the regulatory requirement — positioning the bank for long-term resilience and expansion. "We invested in AMINA Bank when its AUM was just over $1 billion, and to see it more than quadruple in just three years is a clear validation of our investment thesis," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies.

TORONTO, May 5, 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 a successful trade executed by its specialized arbitrage trading desk, DeFi Alpha, generating a return of approximately C$30.3 million (US$22 million). Launched in Q2 2024, DeFi Alpha was established to execute low-risk, high-efficiency trading strategies across centralized and decentralized markets.
