DeFi Technologies, via its Valour subsidiary, introduced the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity Index (DVIO), an institutional-grade benchmark designed to reveal how regulated investor capital flows into digital assets through Valour’s regulated ETP platform. The DVIO tracks capital allocation across the digital asset market using real flows, delivering a forward-looking gauge of institutional positioning and sentiment. By focusing on regulated channels, the index aims to improve signal quality and reduce distortions associated with fragmented markets.
Designed to deliver higher signal quality than typical crypto datasets, the DVIO relies on a consistent product structure and execution. It is updated weekly to reflect changes in assets under management and flows across the top 50 assets in Valour’s ecosystem. Valour’s platform currently offers 102 ETPs covering 74 unique digital assets, giving investors exposure across majors, Layer 1s, DeFi, and emerging themes within a consistent risk framework. This structure supports capital flows that reflect rational investment behavior in an efficient market.
The methodology is systematic and rules-based, updating constituents and weights weekly to balance stability with adaptability. DVIO’s watchlist surfaces early-stage momentum in assets outside the top 50 by AUM, enabling predictive analysis rather than reactive responses. The index seeks to serve as both a benchmark and a reference point for institutions seeking clarity in a relatively opaque market.
DeFi Technologies plans to offer subscription-based access to weekly DVIO insights and monthly analytics reports, and to license the framework to third-party asset managers and financial institutions. An integrated data architecture spans trading, flow, and pricing data across Valour and its subsidiary Stillman Digital, enabling advanced analytics and AI techniques to study how investment behavior interacts with DeFi, TradFi, and macro trends. By combining regulated market data with advanced analytics, DVIO aims to be a leading research engine for next-generation digital asset strategies.
Valour’s scale and diversification position DeFi Technologies to lead the DVIO initiative as a market reference, reflecting real capital decisions rather than speculative proxies. The DVIO Index is designed to capture meaningful shifts in investor behavior while filtering out short-term noise, establishing a robust framework for institutional analysis in digital assets.
