DeFi Technologies Provides Monthly Corporate Update: Valour Reports C$1.4 Billion (US$1.009 Billion) in AUM, and Monthly Net Inflows of C$48 Million (US$33.5 Million) in January 2025, Along with a Treasury Strategy Update

• AUM & Robust Monthly Net Inflows: As of January 31, 2025, Valour reported C$1.4 billion (US$1.009 Billion) in assets under management (AUM), reflecting a 23% increase from the previous month, driven by rising digital asset prices and continued net inflows of C$48 million (US$33.5 million) in January, fueled by strong demand for ETPs such as XRP, SUI, and DOGE. Valour continues to experience record trading volumes and inflows, particularly following the launch of 20 new digital asset ETPs on the Spotlight Stock Market-the largest rollout in Valour's history-expanding its portfolio to over 60 ETPs across European exchanges and further solidifying its position as a leading digital asset ETP issuer
  Strong Financial Position: Valour ended January with a cash and USDT balance of approximately C$27.2 million (US$18.9 million), reflecting a 24.9% increase from the prior month. Loans payable remained steady at approximately C$8.3 million (US$6 million) primarily attributed to the ongoing Genesis restructuring.
• Advanced Treasury Strategy: The Company also maintained a diversified portfolio of assets in its digital asset treasury, including 208.8 BTC (C$29,111,593 /US$20,324,987),14,375 SOL (C$4,286,865 / US$2,992,982), 121 ETH (C$602,810 / US$420,867), and 433,322 AVAX tokens (C$24,629,461 / US$17,195,674). The portfolio's total value stood at approximately C$63.4 million (US$44.2 million), representing an 8.7% increase from the previous month due to an increase in digital asset prices compared to the previous month. The company may choose to rebalance or increase its treasury at any time using its current C$90.6 million (US$63.1 million) in cash, USDT, and treasury holdings.
• DeFi Technologies Operated Validator Nodes: DeFi Technologies operates three validator nodes: one on Solana (SOL), one on CORE, and another on Cardano (ADA). The company stakes a portion of its C$526 million (US$367 million) in SOL on its validator node, generating an approximate 8% yield. If the entire current amount of SOL were staked, it would generate approximately C$42 million (US$29 million) in revenue annually. Additionally, on its CORE validator, the company stakes a portion of its BTC holdings, which total C$362 million (US$253 million), generating a yield between 6-8 % on DeFi's BTC and CORE holdings. On its Cardano validator, DeFi stakes a portion of its C$96.34 million (US$67.24 million) in AUM, generating an average 2.7% yield.
