(the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies") (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance ("DeFi"), announced today that it has filed a base shelf prospectus dated August 29, 2025 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, relying on the "well-known seasoned issuer" exemption, and a corresponding shelf registration statement on Form F-10 (the "Registration Statement") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These filings will allow the Company, if it chooses, to make offerings of common shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, convertible securities and units (collectively, the "Securities") of the Company, or any combination thereof, in all of the provinces and territories of Canada and in the United States pursuant to a prospectus supplement to be filed in connection with such an offering for a period of 25 months.

The Company has filed the Base Shelf Prospectus and Registration Statement to maintain financial flexibility, but has no present intention to undertake an offering of securities under the Base Shelf Prospectus. There is no certainty any Securities will be offered or sold under the Base Shelf Prospectus and/or Registration Statement within the 25-month effective period. Should the Company decide to offer securities during the 25-month effective period, the specific terms, including the use of proceeds, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the Base Shelf Prospectus and Registration Statement.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction where the offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. 

Access to the Base Shelf Prospectus and any future amendments or prospectus supplement(s) thereto will be provided in accordance with securities legislation relating to procedures for providing access to a prospectus. The Base Shelf Prospectus is now accessible under DeFi Technologies' profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and a copy of the Registration Statement can be found on the SEC's EDGAR website at www.sec.gov.
