Valour Inc., a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, recently announced significant growth in its assets under management (AUM), reporting US$974 million as of August 29, 2025. This marks an impressive 2.85% increase month-over-month, driven by a combination of rising digital asset prices and continuous investor interest in Valour’s exchange-traded products (ETPs). July alone saw net inflows of US$1.3 million, bringing the total year-to-date inflows to US$91.7 million, indicating a robust demand for Valour’s offerings.
In a strategic move, DeFi Technologies has launched a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) to repurchase up to 10% of its public float—31,673,791 shares—through open-market purchases on platforms including Nasdaq and Cboe Canada. This program began on August 26, 2025, and will continue until August 26, 2026. The initiative is driven by management’s assessment of the company’s undervaluation, underlined by a cash position of approximately US$19.8 million at the time of the announcement. Within the first week of the program, 80,000 shares were repurchased, with ongoing transactions expected to be reported monthly.
Notably, in August 2025, several top executives, including the CEO, President, and CFO, along with the Board of Directors, participated in open-market purchases of common shares, reflecting their confidence in the company’s prospects.
As of June 30, 2025, Valour’s institutional shareholder base has expanded to 102 entities, collectively holding about 35 million shares. Prominent new investors include renowned financial institutions such as VanEck, Bank of Montreal, Invesco, and Goldman Sachs, signaling escalating institutional interest in Valour’s ETPs.
Moreover, Valour has been actively improving its product lineup, recently expanding its portfolio with the launch of eight new ETPs on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market. These include cryptocurrency assets like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and VeChain (VET), enriching its offerings to over 85 ETPs across various European markets. The new products, which are expected to attract a broader audience, come with a management fee of 1.9%.
Valour’s successful performance is supported by a selection of standout products, with the highest AUM attributed to the VALOUR SOL at US$315.4 million, followed by VALOUR BTC at US$268.9 million and VALOUR ETH at US$94.7 million. The company benefits from a vertically integrated model that not only generates revenue through management fees but also capitalizes on trading, staking, and trade-flow arbitrage.
Additionally, DeFi Technologies has been enhancing its global presence within regulated digital asset markets, targeting high-growth emerging regions across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, which positions the company favorably for future growth.
In terms of financial health, as of June 30, 2025, DeFi Technologies reported a consolidated cash balance of approximately US$26.4 million and diversified holdings of digital assets valued at US$26 million. This brings the total value of cash and digital asset treasury to US$52.4 million, enabling the company to navigate market volatility and leverage strategic opportunities effectively.
In operational news, Stillman Digital, another subsidiary focusing on digital asset liquidity, recently secured regulatory approval to offer foreign exchange services under its DABA license, expanding its treasury management solutions portfolio.
As DeFi Technologies continues to forge partnerships and expand its service offerings, it has announced plans for its inaugural Insights Symposium to take place in Frankfurt on September 25, 2025. This event aims to explore the intersection of decentralized finance and traditional financial markets, bringing together institutional investors, regulators, and industry leaders for in-depth discussions.
Overall, the recent developments at Valour and DeFi Technologies underscore a growing momentum in digital asset investment, reflecting increasing investor confidence and a commitment to advancing the adoption of regulated digital finance solutions.
