**DeFi Technologies Announces Inaugural Insights Symposium to Be Held in Frankfurt on September 25, 2025**

TORONTO, Aug. 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, today announced the launch of the **DeFi Technologies Insights Symposium**, with the inaugural session to take place in **Frankfurt, Germany**, on **September 25, 2025**.

The DeFi Technologies Insights Symposium is a new global initiative designed to foster high-level, in-person discussions around the future of finance. Backed by DeFi Technologies and supported by its ecosystem partners - **Valour, Stillman Digital, Reflexivity Research, Neuronomics, SovFi and BTQ Technologies** - the Symposium will bring together institutional investors, regulators, technologists, and thought leaders to explore how decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) are converging across markets, infrastructure, and regulation.

The symposium also provides an opportunity for institutional investors to learn more about the DeFi Technologies ecosystem, what drives the company's metrics, as well as gain exclusive insights into the Company's technology and investment products like the Valour ETP product line. The events will serve as a means to gain preferred insight and access to the products and services of the DeFi Technologies portfolio of companies.

"DeFi Technologies is focused on building the rails between traditional capital markets and the emerging digital asset economy," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. "The Insights Symposium is an extension of that mission - bringing together institutional investors, regulators, and innovators to have the real conversations that are shaping the future of finance. By convening these leaders, DeFi Technologies is not just a participant in this transition, but a key platform enabling it."

**A Strategic, Global Forum for Financial Innovation**

Hosted in Frankfurt for its inaugural edition, the Symposium will expand globally with future sessions planned in key financial centers including Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, São Paulo, London, New York, and Zurich. Each event will explore regional dynamics while maintaining a unified global focus: enabling efficient capital market access to secure, compliant, and scalable digital asset ecosystems.

The Frankfurt edition will feature a curated, invite-only audience of institutional stakeholders including sovereign wealth funds, central banks, asset managers, tokenization platforms, policymakers, and blockchain protocol foundations.

Attendees can expect a mix of keynotes, private roundtables, and strategic panels focused on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The regulatory pathways for DeFi integration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Institutional access to on-chain yield

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tokenized funds and securitization

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AI's role in financial markets and operations

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The implications of quantum computing on digital asset infrastructure

Each edition of the Symposium will result in a co-branded research journal, produced and edited by Reflexivity Research, capturing the key insights, strategies, and innovations discussed at the event.

**Featured Speakers - Frankfurt Edition**

The inaugural session will include thought leaders from both traditional finance and the digital asset space, including:
