Our conversation with @Forson (@DeFiTechGlobal, @ValourFunds) made one thing clear. Vertical integration directly benefits investors. By owning the infrastructure in-house, @ValourFunds can offer yield-generating products on top of capital appreciation, as demonstrated by the recently approved Bitcoin and Ethereum yield ETPs on the London Stock Exchange. Beyond yield, listing a new ETP requires passing a rigorous liquidity and due diligence test. Key variables include exchange presence, foundation maturity, spread quality, and the ability to absorb large institutional block purchases without moving the price.

🇧🇷 The @B3_Oficial ETF Day in Rio de Janeiro was a stage for meaningful conversations about the future of investments. @Forson, President of @DeFiTechGlobal, participated in the "New Frontiers in the ETF Market" panel, which offered a clear snapshot of the strength of the ETF industry in Brazil. @DeFiTechBrasil @ValourFunds @DigitalStillman @DEFTIndex #ETF #DigitalAssets #Crypto

“The entire digital asset space… has a market value less than the value of one company… the room for growth is actually massive.” @Forson (@DeFiTechGlobal, @ValourFunds) The long-term upside of digital assets is similar to the early stages of internet-era equity markets. Firms are moving toward building across the entire digital asset value chain, including tokenization, custody, and hybrid instruments. Integrated platforms (traditional finance + digital assets) will capture the most value.

Most people think cNGN is only for crypto traders. They’re not even close. cNGN is for the manufacturer negotiating payment terms with a supplier in Shenzhen. The freelancer delivering world-class work and getting paid across borders. The diaspora keeping family taken care of back home. The startup building the next layer of African payments. It’s not just a crypto product. It’s a Naira product — digital, fast, and built for how Nigerians actually move. Every Naira user is a potential cNGN user.

Bitcoin’s historical annualized returns far outpace the S&P 500, despite TradFi criticism. This explains why regulated crypto ETPs are becoming important in the next phase of crypto adoption. Together with @Forson, President of @DeFiTechGlobal and CGO at @ValourFunds, we discussed that and related topics on the NFK Media podcast. Watch why institutions choose ETPs over direct crypto exposure: youtu.be/c8UKaErNy8U?is…

ETPs estão ganham espaço como estrutura de acesso institucional a cripto. A entrada de capital institucional em ativos digitais passa por infraestrutura. Mais do que exposição ao ativo, o investidor precisa de previsibilidade operacional, segurança e aderência regulatória. Nesse cenário, os ETPs (Exchange Traded Products) avançam como formato dominante. Produtos listados em bolsa, com estrutura compatível ao mercado tradicional, resolvem três pontos centrais:

"Sovereign debt is the largest asset class by a significant margin... I think it's like a third of all global debt, and it represents about a hundred trillion-dollar market per year." @Forson Tokenized sovereign debt matters because it brings settlement speed, transparency, and liquidity to a market that has historically been slow and opaque. Stablecoin issuers such as @tether have already shown this works at scale. Proof-of-reserve mechanisms are often more transparent than traditional central bank reporting. @DeFiTechGlobal @ValourFunds @DigitalStillman

Institutional adoption of digital assets is being redefined. In a recent episode of the NFK Media podcast, @nasib_fathi , known for exploring institutional crypto through executive conversations and long-form analysis, has a conversation with me in my capacity as President of @DeFiTechGlobal and Chief Growth Officer at @ValourFunds . Together, we unpack how regulated Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) are transforming institutional access to digital assets, shifting the market from fragmented exposure to integrated, regulated financial products. This conversation explores: * Why ETPs are emerging as the institutional and regulated gateway to digital assets * How Valour’s vertically integrated, full-stack model is redefining digital asset management * The importance of disciplined product design, thresholds, and risk management * Innovation across synthetic and volatility-linked ETPs * How regulatory and technical frameworks are enabling scalable growth * Expansion across key global financial hubs DeFi Technologies’ approach is centered on building the infrastructure that allows institutions to access digital assets through regulated, transparent, and scalable structured instruments. As institutional demand accelerates, the market is moving beyond access toward structure, reliability, ease, and full-stack financial integration. Through Valour and our wholly owned subsidiary @DigitalStillman , DeFi Technologies is helping define what institutional adoption of digital assets can look like at scale. 🎥 Watch the full episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=7QCQ_3… $DEFT @DEFTIndex @DeFiTechBrasil
