Toronto, Ontario–(November 12, 2024) – WonderFi Technologies Inc. (TSX:WNDR) (OTCQB:WONDF) (the “Company” or “WonderFi”), a global leader in centralized and decentralized financial services and products, today announced record weekly trading activity across both of the regulated cryptocurrency trading platforms it owns and operates.

“While we recognize that seven days does not make for a long-term trend, we’ve seen a sharp increase in trading activity across our platforms over the past week, reflecting a renewed excitement around crypto following the U.S. Presidential election,” said WonderFi President and CEO Dean Skurka. “We are pleased to offer investors a secure and regulated set of products and services to enable them to take full advantage of global cryptocurrency markets, whether on desktop or mobile.”

Benchmark cryptocurrencies have performed strongly in recent days, with the price of Bitcoin surging to a record high following the U.S. election, amid investor expectations that the incoming Trump administration will implement a favourable regulatory framework for digital currencies.

WonderFi is the largest regulated crypto trading platform in Canada, operating through its two wholly owned brands, Bitbuy and Coinsquare.

At Bitbuy, retail trading volume and revenue for the week from Nov. 4 to Nov. 10, 2024 rose 82 percent and 111 percent, respectively, compared to the weekly average for Q3 of calendar 2024. At Coinsquare, retail trading volume and revenue for the same period was up 86 percent and 169 percent, respectively, for the same period compared to the Q3 weekly average.

Bitbuy’s transaction value for the week was $26.97 million, while Coinsquare transacted $39.1 million.

Bitbuy also saw a 90 percent jump in transacting user count and an 84 percent increase in weekly signups over the Q3 weekly average. At Coinsquare, transacting user count spiked 123 percent and weekly signups were up 254 percent over the Q3 weekly average.

WonderFi’s total assets under custody have also increased by 34 percent since the end of September, and currently stand at approximately $1.7 billion.

Mr. Skurka added: “We’re excited about the growth of the crypto industry and plan to continue to diversify our offering, launch new products to ensure we remain at the forefront of industry innovation for the benefit of our users.”
