DeFi Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "DeFi Technologies"), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance, is pleased to announce that its newly launched DeFi Advisory business line has been engaged to act as the asset manager for Nuvve Holding Corp.'s (Nasdaq: NVVE) recently announced HYPE treasury strategy.

Nuvve, a global leader in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and grid modernization, has expanded its corporate treasury policy to include HYPE—the native token of Hyperliquid and one of the world's fastest-growing decentralized exchanges (DEX). The investment reflects Nuvve's commitment to long-term growth, digital innovation, and responsible participation in the decentralized finance ecosystem.

DeFi Advisory, established to provide institutional-grade digital asset treasury solutions for public companies, will oversee secure custody, execute OTC transactions, and manage active strategies to optimize the performance of Nuvve's HYPE position. Compensation for these services will be paid quarterly based on a percentage of AUM in the form of either equity (warrants or shares) or cash, at Nuvve's discretion. The agreement also includes the use of Stillman Digital, a DeFi Technologies subsidiary, to execute OTC transactions and support Nuvve's ongoing digital asset purchases.

"DeFi Advisory represents a significant evolution in our business model—transforming our existing research and execution infrastructure into a dedicated, institutional-grade service offering," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies. "As more public companies evaluate digital asset strategies, there's a clear need for credible, compliant, and customized advisory solutions. Through this partnership with Nuvve, we're demonstrating how public market participants can strategically engage with the decentralized economy in a secure and scalable way."

This new DeFi Advisory business line positions DeFi Technologies to further capitalize on the accelerating wave of public digital asset treasury companies being formed across global markets. With proven in-house infrastructure in Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), trading, custody, and research, DeF Technologies is uniquely equipped to support these companies in navigating go-public transactions, managing digital asset portfolios, and executing institutional-grade trades, all under one roof.
