Jim Cramer Says "DeFi Technologies is a Pretty Volatile Name"

DeFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:DEFT) is one of the 15 stocks that Jim Cramer recently talked about.  The company was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what Mad Money’s host had to say:

“Naturally, DeFi is a pretty speculative name, and that’s putting it lightly. It’s got a market capitalization of just over $1 billion. This one’s barely big enough for me to even mention an air. On top of that, DeFi doesn’t even have $1 billion in assets under management. Now, in management’s defense, the company was profitable last quarter and doesn’t have any meaningful debt.

While DeFi currently offers roughly 65 exchange-traded products in the crypto space, they’re continuing to bolster these offerings and expect to have 100 by year-end. But don’t get too excited. These products are mainly for the Europeans at the moment. Entering the US market doesn’t seem such a high priority for them… Going back to the speculative nature of this stock, the company only became available for trading on the Nasdaq about a week before Joe in Arkansas asked me about it. No wonder I didn’t know it. Since then, it’s down about 18% despite a rally today. You haven’t missed much.

So let me give you the bottom line here: DeFi Technologies is a pretty volatile name, and I’d much rather own something consistent like ESCO. As I’ve said many times, if you really want to invest in crypto, just buy actual crypto. All these other instruments tend to have more risk than I’m comfortable with. You don’t need that in your portfolio.”

DeFi Technologies (NASDAQ:DEFT) develops exchange-traded products tied to decentralized finance protocols, provides digital asset management and liquidity services, engages in early-stage investments in the digital asset sector, and operates an arbitrage trading desk focused on low-risk opportunities.
