Exposure to Emerging Protocols and Tokenized Gold: These new ETPs provide regulated access to a range of assets—from tokenized gold to real-world asset protocols—serving growing investor demand for both traditional and next-generation blockchain applications.
On Track Toward 100 ETPs by Year-End: With these additions, Valour now offers over 70 digital asset ETPs across leading European exchanges, reinforcing its leadership in the market and accelerating progress toward its goal of 100 ETPs by the end of 2025.
TORONTO, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the " Company" or " DeFi Technologies") (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, " Valour"), a leading issuer of exchange traded products (" ETPs") has launched four new SEK-denominated ETPs on the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden:
These new listings further broaden Valour's presence in the Nordics and strengthen its mission to deliver secure, transparent, and regulated access to a diverse range of digital assets through traditional brokerage platforms.
About the Newly Listed ETPs
Valour Mantra (OM) ETP
Mantra is a leading protocol focused on real-world asset tokenization and compliant DeFi infrastructure. As institutional interest in tokenized financial products grows, OM plays a critical role in bridging traditional finance with on-chain applications.
Valour Tron (TRX) ETP
Tron is a high-performance, layer-1 blockchain known for its high throughput, low fees, and strong presence in DeFi and entertainment-focused applications. With billions of daily transactions and one of the largest stablecoin networks, Tron remains a top digital asset by market capitalization.
Valour Stellar (XLM) ETP
Stellar is a blockchain optimized for global payments and remittances. Its consensus protocol and low-cost transactions make it ideal for cross-border financial infrastructure, particularly in emerging markets and institutional settlement use cases.
Valour Tether Gold (XAUt) ETP
Tether Gold (XAUt) is a token backed by physical gold, offering the security of a hard asset with the accessibility of a digital token. The ETP provides investors with exposure to tokenized gold via a regulated, exchange-listed product, appealing to those seeking a hedge against inflation and fiat currency risk.
Each product can be purchased and sold through standard brokerage platforms, offering streamlined access for both retail and institutional investors. The management fee is 1.9% for OM, TRX, and XLM, while Tether Gold (XAUt) features a fee of 0.45%.
Executive Commentary
Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour, commented:
"The launch of these four new products reflects our continued commitment to Nordic investors. We're seeing increased demand for diversified exposure—not only to large-cap crypto assets but also to gold-backed tokens and emerging protocols like Mantra. With the world's first ETP on Tether Gold, we're bridging traditional gold investment with the transparency and efficiency of blockchain. Our goal is to deliver that access in a simple, familiar, and fully regulated format."
Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour, added:
"These new ETPs represent a major leap forward, not only offering access to leading digital assets like Tron and Stellar but also bridging real-world financial systems with next-gen blockchain protocols. What makes them extraordinary is their ability to unlock new markets—Mantra's tokenized real-world asset focus is revolutionizing compliance in DeFi, while Tether Gold offers a digital-native solution for investors seeking the stability of gold as a hedge against inflation."
With these new listings, Valour has now surpassed 70 digital asset ETPs—offering the most comprehensive lineup in Europe—and remains on pace to reach its goal of 100 ETPs by the end of 2025. These products are currently listed on major European exchanges including Spotlight (Sweden), Börse Frankfurt (Germany), and Euronext (Paris and Amsterdam), with continued expansion planned in additional global markets.

Media Advisory - Simultaneous launch of Canadian space technologies Français
LONGUEUIL, QC, June 21, 2025 /CNW/ - Several technologies funded by the Canadian Space Agency under the Space Technology Development Program will be launched into space by SpaceX. These projects are a testament to Canada's leadership in space innovation. EarthDaily Analytics will use high-precision thermal imagers to monitor plant transpiration. The data collected could help farmers make decisions about irrigation, fertilization and crop rotation. It could also provide precise information about areas at greatest risk of wildfires, in order to protect our communities. INO provided infrared cameras as part of this project. Galaxia will launch its first satellite, MÖBIUS-1, a software-defined satellite designed to carry various types of Earth observation sensors. The MÖBIUS constellation could be used for a variety of applications, such as defence, environmental monitoring, agriculture, infrastructure, maritime operations and transportation. GHGSat will add two satellites to its commercial constellation, bringing the company's total to 13 methane detection satellites and one CO 2 detection satellite. Mission Control will test its onboard artificial intelligence (AI) software and machine learning operations system SpacefarerAI™ in partnership with Spire Global. Their Persistence mission aims to show how AI can analyze satellite images directly in space, thereby eliminating the need to send all data to Earth for processing. Xona Space Systems will test Pulsar, a demonstration satellite designed to validate a new generation of satellite navigation from low Earth orbit. This technology could improve precision and reliability of positioning services, including in urban areas, remote areas and the Arctic. Also contributing to the GHGSat and EarthDaily Analytics satellites are ABB 's business unit in Quebec, supplying sophisticated optical sensors, and Xiphos Systems, providing high-performance onboard processors. These innovations demonstrate the ability of Canadian companies to develop innovative technologies that meet the needs of the space program and have strong commercial potential. Media who wish to speak with a Canadian Space Agency expert or a representative from one of these Canadian companies are asked to contact the Media Relations Office.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on National Indigenous Peoples Day Français
OTTAWA, ON, /CNW/ - "In my first months as Prime Minister, I have been grateful for the opportunity to meet with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and I recognize there is much more work to do together. "The government will work in full partnership with Indigenous Peoples – advancing shared priorities such as health care, food security, housing, education, economic prosperity, conservation, climate action, and emergency management to build a better future. Indigenous partnership is a critical component of the One Canadian Economy Act, and shared leadership with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis will be pivotal to the success of building major projects in Canada. "We will move forward together on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' Calls for Justice, and the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. "Supporting Indigenous communities, advancing self-determination, implementing treaties, and creating generational wealth and prosperity are central to our commitment to advancing reconciliation. Through initiatives like the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program, we're addressing the historical, systemic, and economic barriers that have prevented Indigenous Peoples from participating in – and benefitting from – economic opportunities, particularly in the natural resource sector. "Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, and every day, we honour the enduring histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and we reaffirm our partnership in reconciliation. Together, we can build a better future, a stronger economy, and a legacy that future generations can inherit and carry forward."

"This is a time to honour the rich histories, vibrant cultures and enduring contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. From coast to coast to coast, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of Indigenous communities. "Today, more than 50,000 small businesses are majority-owned by Indigenous entrepreneurs. Indigenous-led businesses are fuelling economic growth and uplifting communities across the country. "In 2023 alone, Indigenous tourism operators generated an estimated 34,700 jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity. These numbers tell a powerful story of resilience and innovation and highlight the vital role Indigenous businesses play in our tourism economy. "As Minister of Women and Gender Equality, I am committed to supporting Indigenous-led efforts to end gender-based violence. Through the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence and the Federal Pathway to Address Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ Peoples, our government is working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities to develop policies and fund programs to end the national crisis facing Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This work is essential to healing, justice and safety for Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, wherever they live. "Our government is deeply committed to advancing reconciliation and to building lasting partnerships with Indigenous Peoples by supporting entrepreneurs, fostering economic opportunity and building an inclusive economy that leaves no one behind.
