Valour Inc. Announces Release of Sponsored Equity Research Report From Perch Perspectives

N.DEFI | July 7, 2022

TORONTO, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Valour Inc. (the "Company" or "Valour") (NEO: DEFI) (GR: RMJR) (OTCQB: DEFTF), a technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralised finance, announced today that Perch Perspectives, a leading equity research firm with with additional expertise in markets such as global supply chain, agriculture, technology, aerospace, and energy released a sponsored equity research report on the Company. The in-depth 10-page report includes detailed information on Valour's business model, services, industry, management, and associated risks.

The full report is available here. Highlights from the report include:

A revolution in its infancy - Indeed, the total value locked in DeFi was less than $1billion in 2020 but has risen to a whopping $239 billion in 2022. In the words of AmberData, that is "the tip of the proverbial iceberg," as the global financial services market is estimated to be worth more than $23.3 trillion. Institutions are only starting to get wise. Just 5 percent of the total bitcoin supply is held by institutional-level players via custodial intermediaries. Large institutional crypto transactions surpassed retail as the biggest segment of DeFi trade by volume in Q4 2020, and ac- cording to PWC, the total AUM for crypto hedge funds almost doubled to $4 billion from 2020 to 2021.

Valour: "A league of their own." Valour is positioning itself as a trusted gatekeeper between DeFi and traditional finance, allowing investors skeptical of DeFi or unwilling to do the work of learning how to gain direct exposure to do just that via avenues to which they are accustomed. In addition, with a steady stream of revenue via its ETPs and a fixed cost structure generated by its investment products, Valour offers exposure to cryptocurrencies and DeFi protocols while serving as a de facto call option on the macro opportunity presented by DeFi in general for those that cannot access DeFi ETPs directly.

This is a unique approach to bridging the gap between DeFi and CeFi, and considering the size of the opportunity and the dearth of competitors, Valour has carved a compelling niche for itself to grow as interest and investment in DeFi accelerates.
