Valour Achieves Milestone of Over US$1 Billion in Assets Under Management

Valour Reaches Major Milestone of US$1 Billion in AUM

Valour Inc., a prominent issuer of exchange-traded products (ETPs), has set a new record by surpassing US$1 billion in assets under management (AUM) for the first time. As of January 20, 2025, the total AUM has reached an impressive US$1.02 billion (equivalent to C$1.46 billion), marking a significant achievement in the financial technology sector.

This remarkable milestone follows Valour's outstanding performance in December, where they recorded net inflows amounting to C$56 million (US$38.8 million) and launched 20 new digital asset ETPs on the Spotlight Stock Market. These accomplishments solidify Valour's reputation as a leader in offering seamless access to digital assets, catering to both retail and institutional investors.

Valour’s leadership is characterized by an impressive year-over-year growth of 133% in AUM in 2024. The firm’s top-performing products include Valour SOL, BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), and ADA (Cardano), which continue to draw significant investor interest. Valour’s innovative approach includes the creation of fully hedged, physically backed ETPs that make digital asset investments accessible and reliable.

In addition to its financial achievements, Valour is strategically expanding its geographical footprint, targeting high-growth markets such as Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The company recently signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with key players, including AsiaNext and SovFi, to facilitate the listing and growth of digital asset ETPs on Singapore's licensed securities exchange, aiming to bolster institutional access in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Further extending its reach, Valour is also collaborating with the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) to introduce digital asset ETPs in the African market. This initiative reflects Valour's commitment to establishing a presence in emerging markets, capitalizing on the evolving regulatory frameworks that enable digital asset trading.

Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies, Valour's parent company, commented on this achievement, stating, "Reaching US$1 billion in AUM is not just a number; it illustrates the burgeoning need for secure and innovative digital asset investment products. Our dedicated team has worked assiduously to build a product offering that responds to the evolving landscape of digital finance, ensuring that we meet both current investor demands and anticipate future needs."

Valour's growth trajectory is empowered by its unwavering focus on delivering high-quality and diverse digital asset solutions. The firm recognizes the shifting landscape of finance, where traditional capital markets converge with decentralized finance (DeFi), presenting new opportunities for investors across the globe.

As Valour continues its mission to drive innovation in the digital asset sector, the company remains dedicated to fostering partnerships that support its expansion goals. The potential for growth in digital asset investment products remains significant, further enhancing Valour’s strategic positioning in the market.

In summary, the surpassing of US$1 billion in AUM represents a pivotal moment for Valour, laying the groundwork for future endeavors in both mature and emerging markets. With a strong leadership team and innovative product mix, Valour is well-prepared to capitalize on the ongoing evolution in the financial landscape, driving both growth and adoption of digital assets worldwide.
