The fintech group DeFi Technologies is attempting to restore investor confidence following a severe financial forecast revision. This effort unfolds against a backdrop of looming class-action lawsuits, even as its subsidiary, Valour, pushes forward with a strategic expansion of its product portfolio in Sweden. The central question remains whether this aggressive product launch strategy can mend the foundational cracks revealed by recent events. The company’s operational push occurs under significant strain.
DeFi Technologies continues to grapple with the aftermath of its announcement on November 14, 2025, when management slashed its full-year revenue projection dramatically from $218.6 million to approximately $116.6 million. Cited reasons included delays in its arbitrage strategy and intensified market competition. The share price reacted at the time with a plunge exceeding 27%. The legal repercussions are now materializing.
Several law firms are currently assembling investors for a collective lawsuit, with the lead plaintiff deadline set for January 30, 2026. Consequently, the new Scandinavian product launches represent more than mere business operations; they are a signal to the capital markets aimed at diversifying revenue streams after the collapse of the original targets. In a direct response to shifting market dynamics, subsidiary Valour listed new financial products on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market. The launch of the “Bull Bitcoin X2 Valour” and “Bull Ethereum X2 Valour” Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) specifically targets active traders.
These instruments provide a double leverage effect on the daily price movements of the two largest cryptocurrencies. The timing of this launch is strategic. Recent data indicates an outflow of institutional capital from classic US spot ETFs, with approximately $158 million withdrawn. While pure “buy-and-hold” interest is cooling, trading volumes remain elevated.
DeFi Technologies’ move is an attempt to capitalize directly on this ongoing volatility and trading activity, rather than relying solely on passively managed assets. The current market environment offers some support for this diversification strategy. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have recently seen outflows, capital has flowed into alternative assets like XRP and Solana. Valour has already positioned itself in this segment, having placed related products in markets such as Brazil.
For investors, attention now focuses on two key upcoming milestones. Forthcoming reports on Assets Under Management (AUM) must demonstrate whether the new Swedish leveraged products can contribute meaningfully to the company’s reduced revenue goal. Furthermore, the date of January 30, 2026, represents a critical juncture that will define the scale of legal challenges facing the company in the coming year. The stock last traded around €0.92 as it searches for a stable footing.
