Toronto, Ontario–(September 18, 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 the launch of its new mobile app trading experiences for their wholly-owned Bitbuy and Coinsquare brands.

Now available to all Bitbuy and Coinsquare users, the Bitbuy and Coinsquare 2.0 enhanced mobile apps offer a number of new industry-leading features, including:

• A refreshed home screen, combining an improved portfolio chart and holdings view with the ability to customize up to four distinct watchlists.
• Advanced portfolio and profit/loss performance tracking, with enhanced timeframe functionality.
• Revamped asset pages, improving the ability to compare the performance of different assets at a glance.

“We’re very excited about the upgraded Bitbuy and Coinsquare 2.0 mobile app experience,” said Dean Skurka, CEO and President of WonderFi. “Our customers have enthusiastically embraced our mobile apps, with more than 85 per cent of Bitbuy asset holders and 93 per cent of staking participants adopting our last Bitbuy upgrade. We’ve now incorporated even more of the features our customers have been asking for and anticipate 100 per cent active adoption of the enhanced apps.”

“We’re now focused on further developing and offering best-in-class products,” continued Mr. Skurka. “The 2.0 mobile app launch will kick-start a product roadmap that will upgrade functionality and services, continually enhancing the experience for our more than 1.7 million registered users.”

In conjunction with the launch of the new apps, WonderFi has also introduced an international brand marketing campaign focused on the current football season. The innovative campaign messaging compares sports betting, a familiar activity for many football fans, with betting against Bitcoin, an asset that’s been counted out many times by investment experts.

The campaign will feature 15-second videos, broadcast bumpers and digital creative, and will be viewed by sports fans throughout Canada and Australia through a partnership with DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform.

“The new campaign introduces the long-term strength of Bitcoin and the digital asset industry to a group of passionate sports fans,” said Mr. Skurka.. “The inventive creative provides a welcome contrast to the typical sports betting commercials sports fans are familiar with, and instead focuses on why historically the better long-term bet has been the crypto market.”

The ads will run for the duration of the football season and will also be seen across other mediums such as broadcast TV, connected TV and digital. The first ad in the series can be viewed here.
