DeFi Technologies has announced the launch of the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity (DVIO) Index through its subsidiary Valour, an institutional-grade benchmark designed to track how regulated investor capital is allocated across digital assets.
The Index monitors real capital flows through Valour's exchange traded products platform, tracking the top 50 individual crypto assets by assets under management and flows within Valour's ETP ecosystem. Constituents and weights are updated weekly to reflect changes in capital allocation.
Unlike traditional crypto data sources that rely on exchange volumes or on-chain metrics, the DVIO Index uses actual investment flows from Valour's regulated ETP platform, which currently comprises 102 ETPs covering 74 unique digital assets.Provider News, Digital Assets, Crypto Currencies

Andrew Forson, President, DeFi Technologies, and Chief Growth Officer, Valour, said:
"Crypto markets are rich in data, but poor in signal. Capital flows have long been a core lens in traditional markets. With the DEFT Valour Investment Opportunity Index, we bring that same framework to crypto using real investor capital flowing through regulated products to generate forward-looking insight."
The Index is built on a systematic, rules-based methodology designed to capture shifts in investor behaviour whilst filtering out short-term noise. Weekly rebalancing ensures the Index reflects evolving market conditions without overreacting to transient price movements.
Valour's ETP platform operates with uniform pricing and internal market making to minimise slippage across products, whilst fees are transparent, regulated, and disclosed upfront in prospectuses and final terms. Risk profiles, liquidity models, and pricing frameworks remain consistent across the platform.
The DVIO Index will generate weekly analysis of flow and weight changes, along with market-level measures including the DVIO Index Flow Sentiment Barometer and DVIO Index Altcoin Barometer. A Watchlist of assets outside the top 50 by AUM is maintained to surface early-stage flow momentum before assets become index-eligible.
DeFi Technologies will offer subscription-based access to weekly insights and monthly analytical reports derived from the DVIO Index. The company plans to expand the platform through development of a DVIO index-derived analytics terminal and is engineering the Index to support licensing by third-party asset managers and financial institutions for index-linked products.
The Index is built on an integrated data architecture optimised to leverage trading, flow, and pricing data across Valour and its wholly owned subsidiary, Stillman Digital. This infrastructure is designed to support development of structured instruments and to apply advanced analytics and AI techniques to analyse interactions between decentralised finance, traditional finance, technology trends, and macroeconomic indicators.
DeFi Technologies is a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralised finance. The company is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker DEFT, CBOE CA under DEFI, and the German exchanges under R9B.
