DeFi Tech Q2 2025: $32.1M Revenue, Global Growth

1. Strong Financial Results In Q2 2025

DeFi Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: DEFT) delivered a powerful performance in the second quarter of 2025, showcasing its resilience and operational efficiency in a volatile market. For the three months ending June 30, the company posted adjusted revenue of $32.1 million, a notable increase from $25.3 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $21.6 million, reversing a $2.5 million loss in Q2 2024, while adjusted net income surged to $17.4 million compared to a $6.1 million loss a year ago. This performance was driven by multiple revenue streams, including staking income, management fees, and a standout $17.3 million arbitrage trade from the DeFi Alpha division in May.

2. Rapid Growth In Assets Under Management

Valour, the company’s asset management division, continues to play a central role in growth. By the end of June, assets under management (AUM) reached $772.8 million, and just a month later, that figure climbed to $947 million — a 23% month-over-month increase. This growth reflects strong investor confidence, with net inflows of $77.4 million recorded in the first half of 2025, supported by monthly inflows without interruption. Valour’s regulated ETP offerings have gained significant traction, expanding to over 75 listings across major European markets, with the target of 100 listings by year-end.

3. Global Expansion And Market Penetration

Valour’s strategy extends beyond Europe, targeting high-growth emerging markets. In Kenya, the company is partnering with the Nairobi Securities Exchange to launch the Kenya Digital Exchange (KDX), a regulated platform for tokenized real-world assets. In Türkiye, Valour is collaborating with Misyon Bank and Misyon Kripto to roll out regulated ETPs in a market known for high crypto adoption due to currency volatility and inflation. These expansions aim to establish first-mover advantages in regions with significant long-term potential.

4. Stillman Digital’s Institutional Strength

Since its acquisition in late 2024, Stillman Digital has reinforced DeFi Technologies’ institutional trading infrastructure. In Q2, Stillman generated $1.9 million in revenue, boosted by its integration with Talos, enabling institutional clients to directly access regulated OTC liquidity. The division is also broadening its foreign exchange and stablecoin services to mitigate market volatility. Strategic hires, such as Gary Pike — a seasoned trader from B2C2 and BlockTower Capital — have strengthened execution capabilities. Looking ahead, Stillman plans to expand into Latin America and Europe, deepen global banking relationships, and increase overall trading volumes.

5. DeFi Alpha’s Competitive Edge

DeFi Alpha remains a cornerstone of profitability, generating $114.1 million in revenue since its launch in 2024. Its approach blends low-risk systematic arbitrage with exclusive trades unavailable to most competitors. By leveraging its balance sheet and strategic partnerships, DeFi Alpha delivers steady, high-margin returns that help stabilize earnings against broader market fluctuations.

6. Neuronomics And AI-Driven Innovation

Majority-owned subsidiary Neuronomics AG is pushing the frontier of AI-powered finance. In Q2, it launched SmartCrypto, an institutional-grade AI trading strategy that demonstrated exceptional simulated returns. Neuronomics also became a validator node on the Canton Network, joining top-tier institutions like Nasdaq and Bank of America, enabling it to launch tokenized investment products and tap into significant institutional capital flows.

7. Reflexivity Research’s Expanding Influence

Reflexivity Research continued to strengthen its presence in the crypto research sector by securing new partnerships with Beluga and Blockwire, revamping its brand to attract institutional clients, and exploring new revenue channels, including event sponsorships and premium newsletters.

8. DeFi Advisory’s First Corporate Mandate

The company’s newest division, DeFi Advisory, secured its first client, NVVE, to develop a comprehensive digital asset treasury strategy. By leveraging expertise from Stillman Digital, Neuronomics, and Reflexivity Research, the advisory unit is positioning itself as a key partner for public companies integrating cryptocurrency into their financial management.

9. Strategic Outlook For 2025

Buoyed by strong results across all business lines, DeFi Technologies has raised its 2025 annualized operating revenue forecast to $218.6 million. CEO Olivier Roussy Newton emphasized that the company’s diverse business segments are “firing on all cylinders,” delivering immediate financial results while building long-term value. With 84 institutional shareholders holding over 31 million shares, DeFi Technologies is firmly positioning itself as a leader in bridging traditional finance and the decentralized economy.
