ESTABLISHMENT OF DEDICATED CORPORATE VENTURE
CAPITAL UNIT
Amsterdam, the Netherlands - Flow Traders N.V.
(Euronext: FLOW) announces the creation
of Flow Traders Capital, a
dedicated corporate venture capital unit,
with an initial
commitment of
€50 million to actively invest
in the development
of financial markets
infrastructure and the
digital asset
space.
The primary focus of Flow Traders Capital is to invest in
innovative ventures that accelerate growth, create greater
transparency in financial markets and enable financial ecosystem
scalability. Flow Traders Capital will make direct investments,
across all geographies, with an emphasis on three key themes:
platform, data, and connectivity.
To support portfolio investments, Flow Traders Capital will
offer a combination of funding and a dedicated team with expertise
in product design, product development, capital market and
go-to-market strategies as well as trading insights. Portfolio
investments will also be able to access Flow Traders’ network of
partners and resources, as well as leveraging the expertise within
the existing Flow Traders Capital portfolio community.
In addition to the potential to generate investment returns, by
deploying this unique capability set, Flow Traders will expand its
involvement in emerging technologies, identify market trends and
explore new business opportunities that create long-term strategic
value.
Flow Traders’ current investment portfolio already includes
leading digital asset ventures such as Elwood, Tonic, bloXroute,
Ondo, AllianceDAO and D2X. Additionally, the ongoing strategic
investments in MEMX, RFQ-Hub, LedgerEdge, ShapeQ and the Pyth
Network will also be managed as part of the Flow Traders Capital
portfolio moving forward.
Dennis Dijkstra, CEO of Flow Traders
commented: “Creating Flow Traders
Capital is a natural and logical next step for Flow Traders given
our core capabilities as well as our leading position within the
global financial markets. By investing both Flow Traders’ financial
capital and intellectual capabilities, it provides us with a unique
platform to gain valuable exposure to emerging ecosystems,
innovative technologies and to create synergies with our existing
business. We have already seen a positive financial return on one
of our initial investments in ErisX, which is a further proof point
of the value Flow Traders brings to ventures that are shaping
future financial markets.”

forward-looking statements, which are based on Flow Traders’
current expectations and projections about future events, and are
not guarantees of future performance. Forward looking statements
are statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about our beliefs and expectations. Words such as “may”, “will”,
“would”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”,
“project”, “believe”, “could”, “hope”, “seek”, “plan”, “foresee”,
“aim”, “objective”, “potential”, “goal” “strategy”, “target”,
“continue” and similar expressions or their negatives are used to
identify these forward-looking statements. By their nature,
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors because they relate to
events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future
whether or not outside the control of Flow Traders. Such factors
may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, no undue reliance should be placed on any
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only

are internal objectives of Flow Traders to measure its operational
performance and should not be read as indicating that Flow Traders
is targeting such metrics for any particular fiscal year. Flow
Traders’ ability to achieve these financial objectives is
inherently subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond Flow Traders’ control, and upon assumptions with respect to
future business decisions that are subject to change. As a result,
Flow Traders’ actual results may vary from these financial
objectives, and those variations may be material. Efficiencies are
net, before tax and on a run-rate basis, i.e. taking into account
the full-year impact of any measure to be undertaken before the end
of the period mentioned. The expected operating efficiencies and
cost savings were prepared on the basis of a number of assumptions,
projections and estimates, many of which depend on factors that are
beyond Flow Traders’ control. These assumptions, projections and
estimates are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
actual results may differ, perhaps materially, from those
projected. Flow Traders cannot provide any assurance that these
assumptions are correct and that these projections and estimates
will reflect Flow Traders’ actual results of operations.
