DeFi Technologies launches the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity Index

Executive Summary

• DeFi Technologies, via its subsidiary Valour, launched the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity (DVIO) Index – an institutional‑grade benchmark that tracks regulated investor capital flows across the top 50 digital assets on Valour’s ETP platform.
• The index will be updated weekly, providing forward‑looking “signal quality” analytics (flow sentiment barometer, altcoin barometer, watchlist signals) and is intended to underpin subscription‑based reports, licensing arrangements, and future index‑linked products.
• The launch positions DeFi Technologies as a data‑driven market reference point for crypto assets, potentially driving incremental capital flows into Valour’s suite of 102 ETPs covering 74 unique digital assets.

Key Details

• Index Scope: Tracks real investor capital allocation across the top 50 crypto assets by AUM and flow within Valour’s regulated exchange‑traded product ecosystem.
• Methodology: Systematic, rules‑based; weekly rebalancing to reflect changes in AUM and flows while filtering short‑term price noise.
• Data Sources: Real‑time flow data from Valour’s ETP platform (102 products, 74 assets) combined with internal market‑making and transparent fee structures.
• Deliverables:
• Weekly analysis of flow and weight changes.
• DVIO Index Flow Sentiment Barometer & Altcoin Barometer.
• Watchlist of assets outside the top 50 to surface early‑stage momentum.
• Monthly analytical reports (subscription‑based).
• Commercial Roadmap:
• Subscription access to weekly insights and monthly reports.
• Development of a DVIO analytics terminal for granular data exploration.
• Licensing program enabling third‑party asset managers to create index‑linked products under the DVIO brand.
• Strategic Rationale: Provides a “benchmark” that reflects regulated capital behavior rather than speculative on‑chain metrics, offering higher fidelity market intelligence for institutional investors.
• Infrastructure: Built on an integrated data architecture leveraging Valour’s trading, flow, and pricing data plus Stillman Digital’s digital asset prime brokerage capabilities; includes AI/advanced analytics to enhance signal generation.

Notable Quotes

“Crypto markets are rich in data, but poor in signal,” said Andrew Forson, President of DeFi Technologies and Chief Growth Officer at Valour. “With the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity Index, we bring that same framework to crypto using real investor capital flowing through regulated products to generate forward‑looking insight.”
