DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies"), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance  ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce that B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3") has approved the listing of Brazilian Depositary Receipts("BDRs") representing DeFi Technologies' common shares, for institutional investors in Brazil.

The BDRs are expected to begin trading on B3 on December 17, 2025, under the ticker "DEFT31". DeFi Technologies intends to commemorate the launch with a market close event at B3 on December 19, 2025.

The DEFT31 BDRs will provide Brazilian institutional and qualified investors with local, BRL-denominated exposure to DeFiTechnologies' common shares through the same brokers, custodians and post-trade infrastructure they already use for domestic securities, without the need to transact directly on international exchanges. BDRs are certificates issued in Brazil that represent shares of foreign companies and are traded and settled according to Brazilian market procedures.

The underlying DeFi Technologies common shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq (DEFT), Cboe Canada (DEFI) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (R9B).

This announcement follows the approval received by DeFi Technologies' subsidiary, Valour, from B3 to list four digital asset ETPs: Valour Bitcoin (BTCV), Valour Ethereum (ETHV), Valour XRP (XRPV), and Valour SUI (VSUI). These ETPs are expected to begin trading on December 17, 2025, giving Brazilian investors BRL-denominated, locally listed exposure via their existing brokerage and custody rails.
