DeFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: DEFT) appointed Jacob Lindberg as Chief Revenue Officer of its subsidiary Valour, the company announced. Lindberg will lead commercial strategy across Nordic and European markets to support the digital asset exchange-traded product platform's growth and institutional partnerships.

Lindberg founded and served as CEO of Vinter, a regulated crypto index provider that was acquired by Kaiko in 2024. During his tenure at Vinter, he raised $3.4 million in seed funding at a valuation exceeding $20 million, led by Octopus Ventures. Vinter's indexes supported financial products listed on exchanges including Nasdaq, London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Börse Xetra, and SIX Swiss Exchange.

The appointment comes as DeFi Technologies expands Valour beyond listed ETPs into institutional investment products, including UCITS-style fund structures, actively managed certificates, hedge funds, and fund-of-funds strategies. The company trades on NASDAQ under DEFT, CBOE Canada as DEFI, and in Germany as R9B.

"Jacob brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial experience, digital asset expertise, and deep familiarity with the European investment product landscape," said Johan Wattenström, CEO and Chairman of DeFi Technologies.

Lindberg developed methodologies for several digital asset index products, including the first Bitcoin & Gold index ETP and the first crypto momentum-factor index ETP. He was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2022.

DeFi Technologies describes itself as a financial technology company bridging traditional capital markets and decentralized finance. The company operates through several subsidiaries including Valour, Stillman Digital, Reflexivity Research, and Neuronomics.
