Announcement PDF RNS Number : 9337X Valereum PLC 04 September 2025 04/09/25 Valereum Plc ("Valereum", "VLRM" or the "Company") Valereum Introduces Crypto and Multi Currency Payroll Solution Valereum Plc (AQSE: VLRM) is delighted to announce that it has adopted a crypto and multi-currency payroll solution, a product developed by Fideum, a VLRM investee company. Fideum's solution enables businesses to make payments to employees in their chosen allocation of currencies or cryptocurrencies. For employers, this may unlock cost savings through improved treasury management, along with shorter working capital cycles. Payments can be distributed quickly and efficiently via a single source payment from the employer, whilst ensuring multijurisdictional regulatory compliance. White-Label Opportunities of the Payroll Solution Beyond serving as VLRM's in-house payroll platform, the solution is designed to be fully white- label ready. This means other companies can adopt the technology under their own branding, giving them the ability to offer payroll services to their clients without building the infrastructure from scratch. ‍ For VLRM, this may open up an additional revenue stream. For Fideum, it strengthens the adoption of its custody, settlement, and compliance stack across new market verticals. Together, the two companies intend to co-sell the platform, with VLRM's El Salvador Digital Asset Service Provider license providing a regulatory anchor and Fideum's network of Virtual Asset Service Provider and Money Services Business licenses enabling future expansion. The Impact of Crypto and Multi-Currency Payroll By solving the complexities of global payroll in a compliant and scalable way, the Valereum and Fideum partnership may help bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, with the potential to support cross-border transactions without the friction of legacy systems. About Fideum Fideum provides institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure: custody, settlement, payments, and compliance at scale. More information is available at: https://www.fideum.com/fideum-vlrm Valereum Group CEO Gary Cottle comments: "This initiative reinforces Valereum's strategy of leading digital asset innovation and infrastructure, and is an additional step in building a comprehensive, crypto-native ecosystem that supports mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies." Fideum's CEO Anastasija Plotnikova comments: "Our partnership with Valereum demonstrates how digital assets can deliver real, tangible benefits today. By combining compliance, efficiency, and choice, we're making global payroll simpler for employers and more empowering for employees. This is exactly the kind of practical use case that accelerates mainstream adoption of stablecoins and digital infrastructure."
