- Valour Surpasses US$1 Billion in AUM: As of July 22, 2025, Valour’s AUM reached US$1.01 billion, a 31% increase since May 30, driven by strong investor demand and rising digital asset prices across its globally diversified ETP portfolio.
- Global Expansion: Valour is expanding into high-growth markets including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, through strategic partnerships with AsiaNext, SovFi, the Nairobi Securities Exchange, and Misyon Bank.
- Recurring Revenue Growth: Valour continues to scale its vertically integrated model, generating recurring income through staking, lending, and management fees, with an 8% blended yield on staked AUM delivering pure profit to the company.
DeFi Technologies, a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance, 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 surpassed US$1 billion in assets under management (“AUM”).
As of July 22, 2025, Valour’s AUM stands at US$1,009,993,748 (C$1.38 billion), representing a 31% increase from US$771 million on May 30, 2025. This milestone reflects both continued investor demand for regulated digital asset products and the rising market value of the underlying digital assets that make up Valour’s product mix.
Valour currently offers the most diverse array of digital asset ETPs globally, giving investors access to a broad spectrum of cryptocurrencies, including major Layer 1s, staking assets, and emerging tokens—positioning the firm to capture upside across multiple market segments.
Strategic Global Growth and Product Innovation
Valour continues to cement its leadership in regulated digital asset ETPs, with over 75 listed products across European exchanges. The Company remains focused on expanding investor access to secure, transparent, and compliant digital asset exposure.
To complement its European footprint, Valour is actively expanding into high-growth international markets, including Asia, Africa, and the Middle East:
- In Asia, Valour has signed MOUs with AsiaNext and SovFi to list its ETPs on regulated exchanges in Singapore and beyond.
- In Africa, a partnership with the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is paving the way for the creation, issuance, and trading of digital asset ETPs across the continent.
- In Turkiye, DeFi Technologies and its subsidiary Valour are collaborating with Misyon Bank and Misyon Kripto to introduce a suite of innovative ETPs, offering Turkish investors institutional-grade exposure to assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum through familiar, regulated investment channels.
These partnerships position Valour as a first mover in emerging markets with rapidly maturing digital asset infrastructure and regulatory clarity.
Monetizing AUM Through Vertical Integration
Valour generates revenue through a vertically integrated model that combines staking, lending, and management fees:
- In Q1 2025, Valour earned US$10 million in staking and lending income and US$2.6 million in management fees.
- Valour captures a blended yield of approximately 8% on its staked AUM—retaining this yield as profit without passing it through to investors.
This approach enables Valour to generate recurring, protocol-driven cash flows, supporting sustainable growth and expanding margins as AUM increases.
“Crossing the $1 billion mark once again is not just a milestone—it’s a clear signal of strong market confidence in our platform,” said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. “Valour is delivering differentiated, regulated digital asset products at scale, and our global expansion strategy is already unlocking new market opportunities. We remain laser-focused on building a world-class ETP platform that captures value from every layer of the digital asset economy.”
