DeFi Technologies Inc. has announced the deployment of a Core Chain validator node as part of its DeFi Infrastructure business line. The validator node is expected to be one of the key components of the Core Chain network as it will be checking the transactions, and generating blocks that will enhance the security and efficiency of the network. 
DeFi Technologies plans to stake 1,498 BTC on the Core Chain. The company plans to utilize its Bitcoin primarily in the digital asset sector to stake them for earning and network validity. The staking process is non-custodial, allowing DeFi Technologies to participate in network consensus without giving up custody of its BTC holdings.

 “We are excited to take this significant step forward with the launch of our Core Chain validator node, This initiative not only enhances our commitment to the decentralized finance ecosystem but also strengthens our strategic partnership with Core Foundation. By staking 1,498 BTC and participating in network consensus, we are advancing our mission to bridge traditional finance with innovative blockchain technology, specifically leveraging Bitcoin’s potential,” <cite><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/06/11/2896749/0/en/DeFi-Technologies-Announces-Launch-of-Core-Chain-Validator-Node-to-Participate-in-Network-Consensus-and-Staking-Stakes-1-498-BTC.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of DeFi Technologies.&nbsp; </cite>

Earlier this year, DeFi Technologies signed a partnership agreement with Core Foundation to create Bitcoin Exchange Traded Products (ETP). From this partnership, Valour already came out with the Yield Bearing BTC ETP and is set to release a new CORE ETP.&nbsp; 
These products leverage Core Chain’s specific features of the blockchain to open staking yield possibilities using BTC. However, at the time of writing, BTC was trading at <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$67,303.63</a> a decrease of 3.34% in 24 hours. 
DeFi Technologies <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/11/defi-technologies-adopts-bitcoin-as-primary-treasury-asset/">recognized Bitcoin</a> as part of its treasury reserve focusing on its digital nature instead of the asset behind it. The company recently bought 110 bitcoins for CAD 10.5 million ($7.6 million). It is part of its financial plan to protect its purchasing power and currency against the menace of inflation.
