DeFi Technologies Sees Robust Growth in SUI Assets and ETP Launches
DeFi Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: DEFT) is experiencing significant growth in its assets under management (AUM) related to the SUI ecosystem, signaling a strong institutional interest in Layer 1 blockchain technologies. As of July 15, 2025, the company’s subsidiary, Valour, reports an all-time high of US$63.5 million (C$87.1 million) in SUI AUM, showcasing a remarkable 54% increase since June 30, 2025. This surge not only reflects heightened market interest but also underscores DeFi Technologies' strategic positioning within the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The company’s corporate treasury holdings in SUI also increase to approximately US$20.2 million (C$27.7 million), making SUI its second-largest digital asset holding after Bitcoin.
CEO Olivier Roussy Newton emphasizes the company's innovative monetization strategy for SUI, which involves asset management, trading, and staking. This approach is particularly relevant as the DeFi sector continues to evolve, with new opportunities emerging for both institutional and retail investors. Valour’s SUI exchange-traded product (ETP) offers a management fee of 1.9% and a 3.3% annual staking yield, contributing to a blended yield of about 8% on the staked AUM. This financial structure not only enhances returns for investors but also positions DeFi Technologies to capture a larger share of the increasingly competitive digital asset market.
Moreover, DeFi Technologies is not resting on its laurels, as it expands its offerings into the Swiss market with the launch of two new digital asset ETPs: the 1Valour Hedera (HBAR) Physical Staking ETP and the 1Valour Internet Computer (ICP) Physical Staking ETP. These products allow investors to gain exposure to the Hedera and Internet Computer networks while benefiting from staking rewards, all without the complexities of wallet management. Valour aims to democratize access to digital assets in Switzerland, a market known for its progressive regulations, and plans to increase its ETP offerings from over 75 to 100 by the end of 2025.
In addition to its growth in SUI, DeFi Technologies maintains a diverse digital asset treasury valued at approximately US$48.4 million (C$66 million), which includes significant holdings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. This diversified portfolio positions the company well to capitalize on various trends within the digital asset space while responding to the increasing demand for yield-generating products from both institutional and retail investors. The strategic expansion into the Swiss market and the successful launch of new ETPs further solidifies DeFi Technologies’ role as a leader in the DeFi industry, emphasizing its commitment to innovation and investor accessibility.
