DeFi Technologies Inc., a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance, announced the launch of the DeFi Technologies Insights Symposium, with the inaugural session to take place in Frankfurt, Germany, on September 25, 2025.
The DeFi Technologies Insights Symposium is a new global initiative designed to foster high-level, in-person discussions around the future of finance. Backed by DeFi Technologies and supported by its ecosystem partners— Valour, Stillman Digital, Reflexivity Research, Neuronomics, SovFi and BTQ Technologies—the Symposium will bring together institutional investors, regulators, technologists, and thought leaders to explore how decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) are converging across markets, infrastructure, and regulation.
The symposium also provides an opportunity for institutional investors to learn more about the DeFi Technologies ecosystem, what drives the company’s metrics, as well as gain exclusive insights into the Company’s technology and investment products like the Valour ETP product line. The events will serve as a means to gain preferred insight and access to the products and services of the DeFi Technologies portfolio of companies.
“DeFi Technologies is focused on building the rails between traditional capital markets and the emerging digital asset economy,” said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. “The Insights Symposium is an extension of that mission—bringing together institutional investors, regulators, and innovators to have the real conversations that are shaping the future of finance. By convening these leaders, DeFi Technologies is not just a participant in this transition, but a key platform enabling it.”
