## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**DeFi Technologies Announces Launch of Brazilian Depositary Receipts for Institutional Investors on B3 Exchange**

* **DEFT access via BDRs:**
DeFi Technologies has received approval from the B3 Exchange to list Brazilian Depositary Receipts ("**BDRs"**) representing
its common shares under the ticker DEFT31, expected to begin trading on December 17, 2025, giving Brazilian institutional investors BRL-denominated,
locally traded exposure via their existing brokerage and custody rails.

* **Strategic Brazil footprint:**
The "DEFT31" BDR program is a strategic step to expand DeFi Technologies' visibility and institutional investor base in Brazil,
aligning with the listing and availability of Valour's digital asset ETPs on the B3 Exchange and reinforcing the Company's broader international
expansion strategy.

* **Complementing global listings:** Trading on B3 complements
DeFi Technologies' existing Nasdaq listing (DEFT), integrating the Company more deeply into global capital markets while offering Brazilian
investors a familiar, locally settled structure to access its growth.

TORONTO, Dec. 15, 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 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 DeFi Technologies' 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.

**Strategic Significance of the DEFT31 BDR**

Brazil has emerged as **Latin America's largest and most cohesive financial market,** with more than 213 million people connected through a single language (Portuguese) and a unified regulatory and capital-markets infrastructure. It is also **the region's largest crypto economy**, with an estimated US$318.8– US$319 billion in crypto value received between July 2024 and June 2025, accounting for nearly one-third of all activity in Latin America. Brazil also ranks 5th globally on the 2025 Global Crypto Adoption Index published by Chainalysis, with growth driven by both retail users and institutional-sized transactions.

This rapid expansion is occurring under a formal regulatory framework. Brazil's Virtual Assets Law (Law No. 14,478/2022) and subsequent Central Bank resolutions have established clear rules for virtual asset service providers, aligning crypto oversight with traditional financial-sector standards for governance, customer protection, AML/CTF controls and reporting.

Against this backdrop, the DEFT31 BDR program is intended to:

* **Broaden access** for Brazilian
institutional investors that may be restricted from direct foreign equity investments, enabling them to participate in DeFi Technologies'
growth through a local instrument.

* **Increase visibility** for
DeFi Technologies within Brazil's sophisticated capital markets ecosystem, centred on B3, one of Latin America's most dynamic exchanges.

* **Align corporate access with digital asset adoption**, offering institutional investors a way to gain exposure not only to crypto assets themselves, but also to
a listed technology company building infrastructure, ETPs and solutions around them.

* **Accelerate Valour's Brazilian Expansion** by providing institutional
exposure to Valour, the wholly owned subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, that will list four digital asset ETPs on the B3 Exchange on December
17th 2025

**Management Commentary**

"Launching the DEFT31 BDRs on B3 is an important next step in our international capital markets strategy," said **Johan Wattenström, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of DeFi Technologies**. "Brazil is one of the world's most advanced and rapidly growing digital asset markets. By listing BDRs in São Paulo, we are giving Brazilian institutional investors a straightforward, locally traded way to participate in DeFi Technologies' growth as we continue to build regulated access to digital assets globally."

"Brazilian investors have already demonstrated strong demand for digital asset exposure, supported by a maturing regulatory environment and sophisticated market infrastructure," said **Andrew Forson, President of DeFi Technologies**. "The DEFT31 BDR program is designed to meet that demand at the corporate level. For institutions that already use B3 as their primary venue, DEFT31 provides a familiar structure, local settlement and governance standards they know, while delivering exposure to a company focused on bridging traditional markets and decentralised finance."
