DeFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: DEFT) announced that its subsidiary Valour has secured approximately $11 million in institutional investment across two separate transactions for its Hedera (HBAR) exchange traded products.

The investment includes $10 million into Valour's Hedera ETP listed on Börse Frankfurt and $1 million into Valour Hedera SEK on Sweden's Spotlight Exchange. The transactions were based on execution value at the time of purchase.

According to the company, the investments originated through strategic engagement at DeFi Technologies' Abu Dhabi Insights Symposium, where the company featured its DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity Index as a framework for identifying digital assets gaining traction with institutional investors.

The DVIO Index, launched in January 2026, tracks the top 50 crypto assets by assets under management within Valour's ETP ecosystem. Weights are adjusted weekly based on regulated investor capital allocation and net flow momentum.

"The strength of our ETP platform is not only in providing regulated access to digital assets, but in helping surface where institutional demand is forming," said Andrew Forson, President of DeFi Technologies and Chief Growth Officer of Valour.

Valour offers 102 digital asset underlying ETPs and generates revenue through management fees earned on its exchange traded products. The company stated that growth in assets under management directly supports the revenue-generating capacity of its asset management business.

The transactions represent expansion of Valour's assets under management in Germany and support the company's objective of expanding its footprint with institutional and retail investors across European markets.

DeFi Technologies operates as a financial technology company that provides access to digital assets through investment products, trading infrastructure, and strategic capital deployment. The company trades on NASDAQ under the ticker DEFT, CBOE Canada as DEFI, and on German exchanges as R9B.
