DeFi Technologies’ Wholly Owned Subsidiary Valour Reaches $208m USD in AUM – A Doubling of AUM in 2 Months

 Nearly a $70m USD asset increase since August

TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2021 /CNW/ – DeFi Technologies, Inc. (NEO: DEFI)(OTC:DEFTF) (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies“) (NEO: DEFI) (OTC: DEFTF) (GR: RMJR) announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valour Inc, the pioneering issuer of digital asset exchange-traded products (“ETPs“), has surpassed US$208 million (1.7 billion Swedish Krona (“SEK“) in assets under management (“AUM“), marking an exceptional first eight months of 2021 which has seen AUM leap more than 1400% since the start of 2021. As of September 7, 2021, Valour’s AUM stood at an impressive US$208m, an equivalent of over 1.7bn SEK.

Following the press release dated August 18, 2021, the growth in AUM reflects nearly a US$70m increase in under one month and a doubling in two months. With German listings anticipated this month and an aggressive global marketing campaign planned, Valour’s AUM should grow substantially in the next few months. Furthermore, numerous new products will be launched in the coming weeks and months in response to investor demand which will also drive AUM growth.

Russell Starr, DeFi Technologies’ Executive Chairman states: “The Valour team has done an exceptional job launching innovative exchange-traded products (ETPs), bridging the gap between crypto/defi protocols and traditional equity products. With numerous other ETPs planned for release, rapid AUM growth and our anticipated listings in Germany, shareholders have much to look forward to not just on the AUM front but also in terms of revenues, income and global exposure to the rapidly growing Defi sector.”

Founded in 2019, Valour has spent two years developing its proprietary platform and growing its team, including the hiring of Diana Biggs, previously Global Head of Innovation at HSBC Private Banking as CEO. Valour was acquired by DeFi Technologies in March of this year.

Take-up is going from strength to strength as Valour offers fully hedged products with low to zero management fees. Valour’s largest product, Bitcoin Zero, the first fully hedged, passive investment product with Bitcoin (“BTC“) as its underlying asset and charging zero management fees, has grown its assets by 1400% since the start of the year.

Meanwhile, Valour’s Polkadot (“DOT“) and Cardano (“ADA”) ETPs are the first DOT and ADA ETPs in the Nordics, and the lowest fee DOT and ADA ETPs in the world. Its BTC and Ethereum products are completely fee-free, a global first for such products with competitors charging up to 2.5% in management fees.

Diana Biggs, CEO of Valour, stated: “The continuing strong growth in our AUM is reflective of increasing investor demand for what we are building, with consistent net inflows into all of our products. We’re delighted to be providing the Nordics with the most accessible digital asset ETPs on the market and are extremely excited to soon be bringing not only more innovative products but launching in new geographies as well.”
