BTQ Technologies Unveils Léonne: Quantum-Secure Consensus Framework for Scalable and Decentralized Blockchain Networks
Lé onne is the first framework to unify trust modeling, network analysis, and quantum-resistant cryptography into a single, modular, and production-ready system. Léonne facilitates the scalability, security, and decentralization trade-offs inherent in existing models like Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake. Introduces a trust-based, topologically structured consensus model, leveraging advanced mathematics and quantum technologies to enable efficient, secure, and decentralized network partitioning at scale. Designed with modularity and post-quantum resilience, Léonne positions BTQ at the forefront of quantum-secure infrastructure, offering a foundational platform for the future of blockchain and distributed systems. VANCOUVER, BC, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3) (OTCQX: BTQQF), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks, announced the launch of Léonne, a novel blockchain consensus framework designed to overcome the core limitations of existing distributed ledger technologies. Built on advanced mathematical structures and quantum-enhanced security, Léonne addresses the longstanding trade-offs between scalability, security, and decentralization - often referred to as the "blockchain trilemma." Léonne introduces a new model called Topological Consensus Networks, which replaces energy-intensive Proof-of-Work (PoW) and centralization-prone Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with a mathematically rigorous, trust-based partitioning system known as Proof-of-Consensus. This approach enables high throughput, efficient energy use, and decentralized decision-making—all while maintaining resilience against quantum-era threats. "As blockchain infrastructure becomes increasingly mission-critical—for finance, supply chains, healthcare, and more—networks must be efficient, secure, and resilient. Léonne directly addresses these demands while anticipating future risks posed by quantum computing and centralization trends," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies. "We believe this is a foundational technology for the post-quantum future—where speed, scale, and security must coexist. This innovation enhances BTQ's position as a leader in quantum-safe infrastructure." Key Features of Léonne: Trust-Based Partitioning: Dynamically restructures blockchain networks based on mathematically defined trust relationships between nodes. Topological Modeling: Uses advanced network theory and persistent homology to optimize long-term network stability and detect emerging threats. Quantum Enhancements: Integrates Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG), Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and quantum-enhanced trust matrices to ensure information-theoretic security. Scalability and Efficiency: Linear algorithmic complexity enables real-time consensus across millions of nodes with minimal computational overhead. Modular Architecture: Designed for integration with both existing blockchain platforms and emerging quantum hardware. This innovation builds on BTQ's broader strategy to develop infrastructure that safeguards digital systems from current and future cyber threats. As institutional and government interest in blockchain accelerates—particularly in finance, healthcare, and supply chain—Léonne offers a scalable solution that meets the rigorous security demands of tomorrow's distributed systems. BTQ Technologies will be engaging with key industry partners, academic collaborators, and select clients to deploy Léonne across test environments and pilot programs in the second half of 2025. About BTQ BTQ Technologies Corp. (Cboe CA: BTQ | FSE: NG3 | OTCQX: BTQQF) is a vertically integrated quantum company accelerating the transition from classical networks to the quantum internet. Backed by a broad patent portfolio, BTQ pioneered the industry's first commercially significant quantum advantage and now delivers a full-stack, neutral-atom quantum computing platform with end-to-end hardware, middleware, and post-quantum security solutions for finance, telecommunications, logistics, life sciences, and defense.

DeFi Technologies Reports All-Time High in SUI Assets Under Management and Treasury Holdings
Valour's SUI AUM Surpasses US$63.5 Million (C$87.1 Million); DeFi Technologies' SUI Treasury Hits US$20.2 Million (C$27.7 Million)—Now Its Second Largest Holding After Bitcoin Valour's SUI AUM Hits Record High of US$63.5M (C$87.1M): Reflecting a 54% increase since June 30, driven by investor demand and interest in emerging Layer 1 ecosystems like SUI ETP is also among the fastest-growing products in its portfolio of over 75 exchange-traded products (ETPs). DeFi Technologies' SUI Treasury Grows to US$20.2M (C$27.7M): Now the Company's second-largest holding after Bitcoin, up 41% month-over-month. Recurring Revenue from Yield and Fees: Valour's SUI ETP earns a 3.3% staking yield and 1.9% management fee; the Company's blended yield across all staked AUM is approximately 8%, supporting sustainable, non-dilutive growth, supporting its position as one of the only profitable, cash-generating public crypto companies. TORONTO, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (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"), is pleased to announce all-time highs in SUI assets under management (AUM) through its subsidiary Valour Inc. ("Valour"), as well as a significant milestone in the Company's corporate SUI digital asset treasury. As of July 15, 2025, Valour recorded an all-time high of US$63,545,741 (C$87,166,328) in SUI AUM, representing an increase of approximately 54% since June 30, driven by growing institutional demand and broader market interest in emerging Layer 1 ecosystems. Valour's SUI ETP is also among the fastest-growing products in its portfolio of over 75 exchange-traded products (ETPs). At the same time, DeFi Technologies' corporate treasury holdings of 4,913,918 SUI also reached an all-time high of approximately US$20.2 million (C$27.7 million), up roughly 41% since June 30, making SUI the Company's second-largest digital asset holding, behind only Bitcoin. "Our SUI strategy continues to deliver, both in terms of market performance and treasury growth," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. "As with Bitcoin, we're not just holding SUI—we're monetizing it through our vertically integrated infrastructure across asset management, trading, and staking. We're proud to be among the first to offer newly launched tokens like SUI as regulated ETPs, and this momentum is core to our roadmap of bringing 100 high-conviction digital assets to traditional markets through secure, compliant investment vehicles." What is SUI? SUI is a high-performance, Layer 1 blockchain designed for speed, scalability, and user-friendly development. Built by former Meta engineers, SUI enables fast and cost-efficient execution of decentralized applications and smart contracts. Its novel consensus mechanism and object-centric architecture position it as one of the most promising chains in the next generation of blockchain infrastructure. Staking SUI for Yield Valour monetizes its AUM through a combination of staking yields and management fees, converting passive exposure into recurring revenue. Unlike traditional ETP issuers, Valour retains staking rewards as income—capturing value directly from the digital assets held within its products, alongside the fees charged to investors. Valour's SUI ETP exemplifies this model, generating a 1.9% management fee and a 3.3% annual staking yield on SUI under management. This dual-revenue structure supports DeFi Technologies' vertically integrated strategy, reinforcing its ability to systematically monetize AUM. Across its entire staked AUM, Valour earns a blended yield of approximately 8%, further enhancing the Company's profitability and ability to scale without relying on dilution or external capital. SUI: A Strategic Addition to the Corporate Treasury DeFi Technologies continues to strategically expand and manage its diversified digital asset treasury in alignment with its long-term investment thesis on digital infrastructure. As of June 30, 2025, the total treasury was valued at approximately US$48.4 million (C$66 million), with positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and other high-conviction tokens. The growth of SUI to US$20.2 million (C$27.7 million), now the Company's second-largest position, reflects its growing strategic importance and market relevance. In addition to its crypto holdings, the Company also maintains approximately US$14 million (C$19 million) in cash and USDT, offering flexibility to rebalance or expand the treasury as market conditions evolve. This growth reflects DeFi Technologies' ability to capitalize on emerging ecosystems while maintaining a disciplined, revenue-generating approach to digital asset management. Digital Asset Treasury As part of its vertically integrated model, DeFi Technologies actively manages a diversified digital asset treasury designed to support long-term capital appreciation, strategic flexibility, and balance sheet strength. These holdings complement the Company's core operating businesses—including asset management, staking, and trading—and are acquired using free cash flow generated by the Company, without the need for dilution or leverage. As of June 30, 2025, DeFi Technologies' digital asset treasury was valued at approximately US$48.4 million (C$66 million). The portfolio includes direct exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other high-conviction tokens aligned with the Company's long-term outlook on digital infrastructure. In addition, the Company holds approximately US$14 million (C$19 million) in cash and USDT, providing strategic flexibility to expand or rebalance its treasury as market conditions evolve. The portfolio breakdown is as follows as of June 30, 2025: This robust treasury strategy not only strengthens the Company's financial foundation but also enhances its ability to capitalize on future growth opportunities and aligns with its goal of building long-term shareholder value.

TORONTO, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (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"), is pleased to announce announced a significant milestone for its wholly owned subsidiary, Valour Inc. (" Valour"), and its corporate Bitcoin treasury. As of July 13, 2025, Valour has achieved an all-time high of US$302,000,170 (C$413,530,342) in Assets Under Management (" AUM") for its Bitcoin exchange-traded products (" ETPs"), reflecting strong market momentum and continued investor inflows.
