| [14-August-2025] |
TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - 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"), announces its financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Financial Highlights
Cash and Treasury Position
Total value of cash and digital asset treasury: US$52.4 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company regularly monitors its cash and digital asset reserves on a consolidated basis, and as part of this review, it has allocated a portion of its digital asset treasury reserve for the purposes of hedging the market risk of its ETPs. This approach reflects both prudent treasury management and a disciplined use of capital—strengthening the balance sheet while directly supporting the performance and resilience of the Company's ETP platform. By holding a diversified mix of cash and digital assets, DeFi Technologies can better manage volatility, protect against adverse market conditions, and capitalize on market opportunities as they arise. AUM & Net Inflows
Q2 Strategic and Business Developments
Venture Portfolio Performance: AMINA Bank, a DeFi Technologies venture portfolio company, delivered record growth in 2024, increasing AUM by 136% to US$4.2 billion and revenue by 69% to US$40.4 million, while achieving profitability in Q4. The bank expanded its operations in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong by 150% and 570% year-over-year, respectively, and maintained zero lending defaults with capital ratios far above regulatory requirements. Comment from the CEO, Olivier Roussy Newton: "Q2 2025 was proof that our model executes in a softer market. We delivered Adjusted Revenues of US$32.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of US$21.6 million, and Adjusted Net Income of US$17.4 million. The flywheel is turning—each business line is reinforcing the others and compounding momentum. At Valour, demand continued to build with net inflows every month year-to-date and US$77.4 million in the first half. AUM ended the quarter at US$772.8 million and reached US$947 million by July 31. Early in Q3, AUM has already surpassed US$1 billion—near all-time highs. Stillman Digital is scaling its institutional footprint through the Talos integration, deeper FX and stablecoin capabilities, and seasoned hires that strengthen execution. DeFi Alpha continues to originate high-conviction, low-risk opportunities—highlighted by a US$17.3 million trade in May—while Neuronomics and Reflexivity Research are expanding our technology, data, and distribution edge. We're also seeing a structural upgrade in our shareholder base. Since early July, we've welcomed a reported 78 additional institutional investors and funds, bringing us to 84 institutional owners representing over 31 million shares. Despite recent share-price action, the register is deepening with longer-horizon capital, an indicator of quiet rotation toward institutions. We've been on the road telling our story to professional investors, and the message is clearly starting to resonate. We are still early in our growth story, but our businesses are firing on all cylinders, delivering immediate results while compounding long-term value. Backed by a well-capitalized cash and digital-asset treasury, a deepening institutional base, and a robust pipeline, we've raised our 2025 annualized operating revenue guidance to US$218.6 million. The focus from here is clear—keep executing, keep compounding, and keep building." Outlook for 2025 The outlook for each business segment of the Company that follows supersedes all prior financial outlook statements made by the Company, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Please see "Cautionary note regarding forward-looking information" and "Financial Outlook Assumptions" below for more information. Asset Management Outlook for 2025 The Company has experienced substantial revenue growth over the past twelve months, driven by increased investor activity and broader market momentum. Valour's ETPs have seen more than a 900% increase in AUM since the market lows of late 2022, with continued growth in trading volumes. As of June 30, 2025, Valour's ETP business reported approximately US$771 million in AUM. This growth has been supported by favorable market conditions, the launch of new ETPs, and strategic corporate initiatives that have boosted both trading activity and overall financial performance. Revenue from staking and lending, management fees, and mark-to-market changes in digital assets and ETP payables has remained closely correlated with both the level of capital inflow into Valour's products and the performance of the underlying digital assets, which continued to appreciate into 2025. Additionally, Valour continues to seek and optimize revenue-generating opportunities of its digital asset holdings. Based on current performance, digital asset price levels and market trends, the Company's annualized operating revenue for 2025 is forecasted at approximately US$218.6 million. Continued growth in AUM may lead to proportional increases in revenue going forward. Valour In Q2 2025, Valour continued to advance its global growth strategy, reinforcing its leadership in the regulated digital asset ETP space. With over 75 ETPs now listed across European and UK exchanges, Valour remains on track to reach 100 total listings by year-end. The pipeline includes leveraged and warrant ETPs, alongside innovative single-asset and thematic baskets—broadening product diversity and meeting the growing demand for secure, regulated digital asset exposure. Beyond Europe, Valour is executing a deliberate expansion into high-growth regions including Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging markets. In Kenya, Valour's products are in the final phases of undergoing regulatory approval, reflecting progress in securing first-mover advantages in markets with significant adoption potential. Strategic Considerations for Growth Valour's expansion strategy integrates cross-listings, market-making, FX considerations, localized marketing, and partnerships with regional institutional players. This approach is designed to address the complexities of entering new jurisdictions, from navigating diverse regulatory frameworks to ensuring liquidity and cultural alignment. In markets where digital asset regulation remains nascent, Valour is positioning itself as a trailblazer, shaping market standards while building brand trust. The Company expects additional listings to come online in the months ahead, supported by a robust pipeline extending through 2025 and into 2026. Strategic locations yet to be announced will further advance Valour's mission to bridge traditional securities with the digital asset ecosystem. Accelerating Investor Demand Valour's ETP business has seen tremendous growth over the past 18 months. In 2024, total inflows reached US$124.4 million, more than doubling 2023's US$49.5 million and tripling 2022's US$38.4 million. Notably, US$53.6 million of 2024's total came in November and December alone—marking a clear inflection point in investor demand. This momentum has carried into 2025, with inflows reaching US$90.4 million as of July. The sustained acceleration highlights Valour's strengthened market position and its ability to capture significant capital flows in the current digital asset environment. Stillman Digital As we progress through 2025, Stillman Digital is positioned to build on the strong momentum achieved since its acquisition by DeFi Technologies in Q4 2024. Stillman Digital has delivered strong performance since joining the DeFi Technologies portfolio, generating US$6.1M in revenue since the acquisition late last year. Stillman Digital's strategic priorities for the second half of the year include a continued focus on expanding business development efforts, enhancing global reach, and deepening capabilities in key areas such as foreign exchange and stablecoin services. The company is also actively investing in its team and technology to enhance trading capabilities, including key strategic hires such as several backend developers and a new Head of Trading, Gary Pike. Mr. Pike previously served as Head of Trading for the Americas at B2C2, overseeing up to $5 billion in daily crypto volume at its peak. Stillman is also focused on building out its distribution infrastructure through initiatives like Finery, Hidden Road Partners, and the Circle Alliance Program. Importantly, the Company is experiencing consistent growth in trading volume and its number of active customers, reflecting increasing market demand and engagement. Financial Outlook:
Strategic Focus:
Looking ahead, Stillman Digital is well-positioned to accelerate its growth in 2025, leveraging DeFi Technologies' support and strategic resources to unlock new opportunities and continue expanding its global footprint. DeFi Alpha 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. The DeFi Alpha strategy has proven to be a pivotal driver of DeFi Technologies' financial resilience, enhancing the Company's position in an ever-evolving digital asset landscape. Through its arbitrage-focused approach, DeFi Alpha has strengthened the Company's financial foundation, enabling debt repayment while supporting the deployment of a robust digital asset treasury strategy. This strategic model has proven effective in mitigating risks while maximizing returns, even in the face of market volatility. Strategic Focus and Competitive Edge: DeFi Alpha was designed to capitalize on the Company's balance sheet through both systematic and opportunistic trading strategies. The approach uniquely positions DeFi Alpha to take advantage of market opportunities while leveraging its balance sheet advantages. Many of the trades pursued are exclusive, backed by strong partnerships and significant holdings tied to ETPs, making these opportunities largely inaccessible to other firms. This exclusivity, combined with efficient execution in low-competition areas, is what gives DeFi Alpha its strategic edge in the market. Systematic Earnings and Opportunistic Trades:
Ecosystem and Market Growth: With the continued mainstream adoption of crypto and the broader ecosystem expansion, DeFi Alpha has seen an increase in market opportunities. Even with an expanded team, there are more opportunities than can be fully addressed, providing a clear path for continued growth. Product Launches and AUM Expansion: The launch of new products, alongside a growing AUM, will further enhance DeFi Alpha's ability to scale its systematic trading activities, driving revenue growth in 2025. The increase in liquidity from these initiatives will provide greater operational efficiency and open up trades that competitors are unable to execute, expanding DeFi Alpha's competitive moat. Long-Term Infrastructure Development: Investments in infrastructure, counterparty agreements, and research since Q2 2024 are laying the groundwork for sustained growth, with the full benefits expected to be realized as the year progresses. These long-term investments are crucial to building a foundation that will continue to support DeFi Alpha's growth trajectory and its ability to capture future opportunities. Outlook for 2025 and Beyond: Looking ahead, DeFi Alpha is poised to capitalize on its unique positioning, leveraging both systematic and exclusive trading opportunities, along with strong partnerships and continued market growth. At the same time, the ongoing infrastructure investments will ensure a solid foundation for long-term success, with sustained growth and continued strategic advancements as key focuses for 2025. DeFi Alpha remains well-positioned to be a major contributor to DeFi Technologies' continued success, driving both short-term gains and long-term value for the Company.
