DeFi Technologies Lands on Nasdaq — Wall Street Gets a Gateway to DeFi

Tue May 13 2025
DeFi Technologies becomes the first digital asset management firm to list on Nasdaq under the ticker DEFT. Here’s why this is a milestone for bridging institutional finance and decentralized assets.

🏛️ DeFi Hits the Big Boards — Meet DEFT on Nasdaq

In a first for the decentralized finance space, DeFi Technologies Inc. has officially listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker DEFT — marking a new chapter for how traditional investors access crypto infrastructure.

No IPO. No capital raise. Just a clean uplisting from OTC to Nasdaq, CBOE Canada (DEFI), and Frankfurt (R9B) — and a flex of strength with 44.7M in reserves across cash, USDT, and digital assets.

“We’re proud to be the first company of our kind to offer equity investors direct exposure to DeFi.” — Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO, DeFi Technologies


🧠 What Makes This Listing Different?

This isn’t another crypto stock — this is an on-ramp for institutional-grade DeFi exposure.

DeFi Technologies runs a multi-arm platform that connects investors to digital assets with the guardrails of regulated finance.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • 🪙 Valour Inc. — ETPs for 65+ digital assets, tradable on European exchanges
  • 🔐 Stillman Digital — institutional prime brokerage with custody and settlement
  • 🧠 Neuronomics AG — Swiss asset manager using AI + quant strategies
  • ⚖️ DeFi Alpha — internal trading + arbitrage desk

This isn’t a one-note DeFi bet. It’s diversified infrastructure, wrapped in public equity.


📅 Shareholder Call: Earnings Drop + Strategy Talk

To celebrate the listing and update investors, DeFi Technologies will host a Q1 2025 earnings call:

Expect a breakdown of balance sheet numbers, strategic moves, and where they’re heading next in Q2.


🔍 Why This Matters for DeFi — and Wall Street

Until now, access to DeFi has been:

  • ❌ Limited to crypto-native users
  • ❌ Excluded from traditional equity portfolios
  • ❌ Confusing or unregulated for institutions

With DEFT on Nasdaq, investors can now tap into the performance of the DeFi economy — without touching a wallet or private key.

This makes DeFi more legible, investable, and regulated — while still being deeply tied to Web3 infrastructure.


🛡️ Risk Meets Regulation: A Compliance-First Model

Let’s be real: 2025 isn’t exactly light on crypto regulation.

That’s why DeFi Technologies’ compliance-first model matters:

  • 🏛️ Regulated entities across Europe and North America
  • 💼 Real cash and crypto reserves
  • 🧾 Revenue streams from ETPs, trading, and asset management
  • 🧠 Thoughtfully structured exposure to DeFi protocols

This could be the blueprint for other Web3-native companies eyeing public markets — without selling out decentralization.


🧠 TL;DR: Nasdaq Just Listed a DeFi Gateway

  • 📈 DeFi Technologies (DEFT) is now live on Nasdaq
  • 🔀 Bridging traditional investors to the DeFi world
  • 💰 No new capital raised — just strategic scaling
  • 🧩 Backed by ETPs, brokerage tools, AI-driven asset management
  • 🧠 Positioned as a compliance-forward blueprint for Web3 access

DeFi is no longer an edge-case — it’s showing up on Wall Street tickers.
