DeFi Technologies’ arbitrage desk generates $3.2 million trade

TORONTO - DeFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:DEFT) (CBOE CA:DEFI) announced Thursday that its specialized arbitrage trading desk, DeFi Alpha, executed a trade generating approximately $3.2 million in returns. The company, currently trading at $117.59, has demonstrated strong long-term performance with a 35.23% return over the past year according to InvestingPro data.

The company stated the return is expected to be realized over three years if the trade is held to maturity and the SOL token price remains at approximately $167 per token. The transaction will be reflected in the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 financial statements.

According to the company, DeFi Alpha’s total trades for 2025 have reached $27 million so far. The latest trade demonstrates the desk’s ability to capitalize on market inefficiencies in the digital asset space.

Stefan Hanssen, Chief Investment Officer of Valour Inc., noted that Digital Asset Treasuries have absorbed many arbitrage opportunities over the past year, but market conditions are changing. "As mNAVs compress and investor demand for new DATs cools, we’re seeing market inefficiencies reemerge across both centralized and decentralized venues," Hanssen said in the press release.

DeFi Alpha focuses on identifying and executing low-risk arbitrage opportunities across digital asset markets. The company claims the desk employs a disciplined execution framework with minimal market exposure.

DeFi Technologies reported it continues to evaluate additional arbitrage opportunities as market volatility increases. The company views its arbitrage activities as an increasingly important component of its overall revenue strategy.

DeFi Technologies describes itself as a financial technology company bridging traditional capital markets and decentralized finance through various subsidiaries including Valour, which offers regulated ETPs for digital assets.

In other recent news, DeFi Technologies Inc. reported significant developments that could impact investors’ decisions. The company secured $100 million in financing from institutional investors, including Galaxy Digital. This agreement involves the purchase of approximately 45.7 million shares of common stock and warrants for additional shares. Additionally, Valour Inc., a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, announced assets under management of $987 million as of September 30, 2025, with net inflows of $23.6 million in September alone. Meanwhile, Stillman Digital, another subsidiary, has partnered with GoDark to enhance institutional trading capabilities in digital assets. Tidal Commodities Trust I, associated with DeFi Technologies, is undergoing changes as Tidal Investments LLC plans to transfer its sponsor role to Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. This transfer is expected to take effect in the fourth quarter of 2025. Furthermore, Tidal Commodities Trust I has amended its trust agreement, modifying the terms related to sponsor withdrawal. These developments reflect DeFi Technologies’ ongoing efforts to expand its reach and capabilities in the digital asset space.
