Highest average quarterly AUM: For the first time in the company's history, AUM exceeded $900-million in each month of the quarter, ending at $947-million in July, $974-million in August and $987-million in September.

Year to date, total net inflows have reached $115.3-million, highlighting accelerating investor demand for Valour's ETPs. This sustained momentum reflects growing investor confidence and reinforces the appeal of Valour's diverse product lineup. Key products driving inflows A combination of established and newer ETP listings, including BTC, SUI and DOGE, drove performance.

Valour's global expansion and strategic market development Valour continues to expand its global footprint as a leader in regulated digital asset products, with 99 ETPs listed across exchanges in Europe and the United Kingdom. Upcoming launches, including leveraged and warrant-based structures, will further broaden investor access. In parallel, Valour continues to advance its strategy of entering high-growth emerging markets across Africa, Asia, the Middle East and beyond, securing a first-mover advantage in key jurisdictions. This pro-active expansion reinforces Valour's long-term commitment to accelerating global adoption of regulated digital asset investment products.

The program commenced Aug. 26, 2025, and runs to Aug. 26, 2026 (or earlier if completed). A total of 260,000 shares were purchased to Sept. 30, 2025, with all repurchased shares cancelled and purchases filed on SEDI. The company appointed Ventum Financial Corp. to co-ordinate the NCIB program.

Each warrant is exercisable immediately at $2.63 (U.S.) (120 per cent of the offering price; a 20-per-cent premium) and has a three-year term with an acceleration feature. Gross proceeds total $100-million (U.S.); the company plans to use net proceeds to expand Valour's ETP lineup, pursue digital-asset trading, lending and staking transactions, finance potential acquisitions and advance recently announced growth initiatives. Joseph Gunnar & Co. LLC served as the exclusive placement agent. Defi Technologies announces strategic investment and partnership with Canada's Stablecorp, backer of QCAD Canadian-dollar stablecoin Defi Technologies invested in and partnered with Canada Stablecorp to help scale QCAD alongside Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, Side Door Ventures and other industry leaders. With RPAA oversight of payment service providers taking effect on Sept. 8, 2025, and growing attention from the Bank of Canada and FCAC as retail CBDC work remains paused, compliant CAD stablecoins are positioned for payments, cross-border trade, payroll and treasury use. Execution includes launching QCAD-integrated products through Valour, naming Stillman Digital as a preferred liquidity provider for on/off-ramps and mint/redeem flows, and collaborating with BTQ Technologies on a postquantum security road map, subject to certain conditions. These steps expand Defi Technologies' addressable market, add recurring fee and spread revenue opportunities, and reinforce its role as a compliant bridge between TradFi and Defi. Defi Technologies and SovFi unveil full-stack sovereign finance framework to modernize the $100-trillion-plus sovereign debt market Defi Technologies and SovFi announced a full-stack sovereign finance framework and a new class of principal-protected, capital-appreciating sovereign instruments targeting the $100-trillion-plus sovereign debt market. The structure converts bond coupons into bitcoin via a patent-pending process inside a regulated ETP issued exclusively through Valour -- while principal remains intact, so investors receive principal plus accrued bitcoin at maturity. Roles are defined across the group: SovFi designs the instruments; Valour creates, issues and lists them; Defi Technologies provides issuance, liquidity, analytics and tokenization (with Stillman Digital and Reflexivity Research); and BTQ enables postquantum-secure settlement. The framework is designed to help countries reduce debt, attract foreign direct investment and deepen market liquidity, with tokenization-ready units and an option for a public vehicle to aggregate baskets for concentrated liquidity. Illustrative economics per $1-billion notional highlight recurring issuer revenues from bond and bitcoin sleeves plus staking, alongside modelled investor outcomes that exceed traditional coupon-only bonds. Valour launches thirteen new ETPs on Spotlight Stock Market, reaches 99 listed ETPs and further bolsters the largest digital asset ETP selection globally Valour listed 13 new Swedish krona-denominated ETPs on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market: PEPE, FLR, VIRTUAL, OP, IP (Story), IMX, QNT, GRT, FLOKI, THETA, FORM, IOTA and HYPE, each offering regulated, exchange-traded exposure with a 1.9-per-cent management fee. The additions brought Valour's lineup to 99 listed ETPs across major European venues, reinforcing what the company stated was the largest selection of digital-asset ETPs globally. The expansion broadened compliant access for Nordic investors across Layer-1/Layer-2 infrastructure, interoperability and data protocols, gaming and creator ecosystems, and community tokens, consistent with Valour's strategy to pair institutional standards with wide market coverage. Defi Technologies' subsidiary, Valour Digital Securities Ltd., launches the first bitcoin staking ETP on the London Stock Exchange Valour Digital Securities launched 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking (1VBS), the world's first physically backed bitcoin staking ETP on the London Stock Exchange Main Market. The product offers professional investors regulated, 1:1 physically backed bitcoin exposure with custody in institutional-grade cold storage (via copper) and a 1.4-per-cent annual staking yield reflected daily in NAV. Valour emphasizes transparency through daily publication of NAV, bitcoin entitlements and indicative prices, and broadened access with listings in GBP on the LSE and a EUR share class on Xetra. The milestone reinforced Defi Technologies' mission to bridge decentralized finance with traditional capital markets by delivering secure, yield-generating bitcoin exposure in a fully regulated wrapper. Defi Technologies invests in Continental Stablecoin Inc., backers of cNGN, to accelerate regulated stablecoin adoption across Africa Defi Technologies announced it invested in Continental Stablecoin (CSI), alongside Coinbase Ventures, Adaverse and other industry leaders, to advance regulated local-currency stablecoins across Africa with an initial focus on Nigeria's cNGN. Nigeria led global stablecoin usage last month, driven by demand for United States-dollar-pegged assets, cross-border payments and clearer rules; cNGN, issued by Wrapped CBDC Ltd., had about 602.9 million tokens in circulation as of Sept. 15, 2025, with more than 75,000 on-chain transactions and about 20.1 billion cNGN in cumulative volume. The investment was intended to align with Defi Technologies' strategy to support compliant, bank- and fintech-ready digital-asset infrastructure, and it complemented the company's broader platform spanning Valour ETPs in Europe and digital-asset treasury solutions through Defi Advisory.
