DeFi Technologies Says Valour AUM Reached $640M in September

DeFi Technologies announced on Oct. 1 that its digital asset management subsidiary, Valour, reached $640.2 million in assets under management (AUM) as of Sept. 25 ¹. The figure marks a 61.2% increase—equivalent to roughly $243 million—compared to the $397.2 million reported at the close of the second quarter on June 30 ¹. It also sits roughly 64% above the unit's cycle trough of approximately $390 million ¹.

The asset manager reported sustained month-over-month net inflows, with full inflow breakdowns slated for release alongside the firm's upcoming quarterly financial filings ¹. Valour generates revenue by combining management fees, staking and lending yields where allowed by product mandates, and market-making volume tied to client trading activity ¹. The company's 10 largest digital asset products accounted for $574.63 million, or 89.8% of aggregate reported AUM as of Sept. 25 ¹. Products tracking $BTC accounted for $239.28 million, followed by $SOL with $157.51 million and $ETH with $65.59 million ¹. Offerings tied to $XRP, $SUI, and $ADA followed with $33.10 million, $22.39 million, and $17.75 million, respectively ¹.

Expansion Beyond Exchange-Traded Products

The surge in managed assets coincides with a broader operational pivot into actively managed portfolios and institutional wrappers. Valour debuted Valour Funds SPC alongside Smart Crypto Fund SP on Sept. 21, launching its first hedge fund targeted at professional and accredited investors ¹. Managed by Swiss quantitative firm Neuronomics AG, in which DeFi Technologies holds a minority position, the Cayman-domiciled vehicle uses algorithmic market models to balance risk exposures and capital allocations across liquid tokens ¹. Valour has also continued rolling out single-asset products, having recently debuted a Zcash ETP on the Spotlight Stock Market as part of its European exchange strategy.

Looking ahead, DeFi Technologies said it is actively developing a proprietary custody division, an institutional UCITS platform, and additional structured hedge fund vehicles ¹. On its balance sheet, the parent entity maintained $135 million across cash, stablecoins, venture allocations, and digital asset reserves as of June 30 with no debt obligations ¹. Concurrently, the firm operates under a 180-day Nasdaq extension through March 1, 2027, to resolve a minimum bid price deficiency under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires closing at or above $1.00 for 10 straight business days ¹.
