("Valour"), the pioneering issuer of digital asset exchange traded products ("ETPs"), has surpassed US$374 million in assets under management ("AUM"). This achievement marks an exceptional first 10 months of 2021, as AUM increased more than 3883% since the beginning of the year. In just over one week, AUM has increased more than US$70 million.

Valour recently unveiled the world's first and only Uniswap (UNI) ETP, which was listed on the Börse Frankfurt Zertifikate AG ("Frankfurt") on October 27, 2021. Their recently launched Valour Solana product (Ticker: Valour Solana SEK), listed on Nordic Growth Market (NGM), continues to see strong investor inflows, reaching a product AUM of US$50M as of November 8, 2021. With the recent market expansion to Germany and anticipated listing on Euronext, the Company expects continued strong growth of Valour's AUM. 

Russell Starr, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Technologies, stated: "The growth in our AUM is exceptional especially given we currently only have six ETPs. As we look to launch additional innovative ETP's related to crypto, DeFi, gaming, and the metaverse, we expect this growth to continue at a rapid pace."

We are working hard to continue to bring more accessible, innovative products to a growing number of markets to meet that demand."

Valour's Uniswap (UNI) ETP is the world's first and only, with Cardano  (ADA), Polkadot (DOT) and Solana (SOL) ETPs the first of their kind in the Nordics.
