Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 24, 2023) - WonderFi Technologies Inc. (TSX: WNDR) (OTCQB: WONDF) (WKN: A3C166) (the "Company" or "WonderFi"), through its subsidiary Bitbuy Technologies Inc. ("Bitbuy"), is excited to announce OTC Desk supported staking. The first service of its kind in Canada allows Bitbuy's Individual, Corporate, and Institutional clients to stake their crypto assets with the assistance from their personal Bitbuy Private Wealth Account Manager.

Bitbuy is one of only three regulated crypto-trading platforms in Canada authorized to stake crypto.

"Staking is a great product for Bitbuy Private Wealth clients looking to earn additional returns on their investable assets," said Bitbuy Vice President of Sales, Jeff Fitzgerald. "The OTC desk figured it only made sense to be able to stake on behalf of our clients in the same fashion we trade. Our clients feel the same and are happy to add this service to our white-glove offering."
To capitalize on the growing interest in crypto staking, Bitbuy has launched a national marketing campaign featuring Bitbuy Brand Ambassador, Scottie Barnes. The campaign comprises a 30-second TV commercial broadcasted on BNN Bloomberg, TSN, and Sportsnet, as well as a social media campaign on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
Bitbuy continues to innovate and provide its clients with secure solutions to meet their evolving needs. The introduction of OTC Desk supported staking underscores Bitbuy's commitment to delivering exceptional services and maximizing the potential of digital asset investments for its valued clients.
