Quantum eMotion Emerges as Leading ETF Holding

Quantum eMotion CA74767K1030

A significant institutional milestone has been reached by Quantum eMotion. Following a recent index rebalancing, the company's stock has become the single largest holding within the Defiance Quantum ETF, a globally prominent fund specializing in quantum computing with over $3 billion in assets under management. This development prompts an examination of the operational progress underpinning this notable portfolio position.

Concurrent with its elevated ETF status, the company is reporting tangible advances in commercializing its quantum cybersecurity technology. Partner Krown Technologies announced the completion of KrownDEX, described as the world's first ground-up, quantum-secured decentralized trading platform.

This solution integrates Quantum eMotion's QRNG2 quantum random number generator with a full post-quantum cryptography stack. A global launch for trading is scheduled for January 3, 2026, coinciding with the rollout of the Krown Network.

This follows the November introduction, also with Krown Technologies, of the quantum-secure hot wallet "Qastle." This product represents the first direct cash-flow channel stemming from the collaboration.

Financial Standing and U.S. Expansion

Financial statements for Q3 2025, released at the end of November, reveal a cash position of US$24.7 million as of September 30, 2025. This liquidity cushion is primarily the result of:
- LIFE offerings in the first half of 2025, generating net proceeds of US$20.3 million.
- The exercise of 15.3 million warrants during the first nine months, providing additional proceeds of US$6.3 million.

Operationally, Quantum eMotion is expanding its U.S. presence via its subsidiary, QeM America. This includes a partnership with Greybox and Vigilant Care Monitoring for a chronic care platform in the senior living sector. The company has established its U.S. headquarters in Irvine, California.

Broadening Strategic Alliances

The company expanded its collaborative efforts across multiple industries in December:
- Energy Infrastructure: In partnership with Aegis, "Tough Bhoy" was introduced—a robust energy storage solution designed for harsh environments and defense applications.
- Quantum Communication: Quantum eMotion joined the kirq quantum communications testbed in Québec.
- AI Infrastructure: An initiative with Exascale Labs aims to build quantum-secured infrastructure for AI computing.

Furthermore, the company is pursuing FIPS 140-3 certification for its Quantum Crypto Module through Lightship Security. This validation is considered a central prerequisite for adoption within regulated sectors.

Top Weighting in Specialized Fund

The catalyst for increased institutional attention stems from the semi-annual rebalancing of the BlueStar Quantum Computing and Machine Learning Index in December 2025. Subsequently, the Defiance Quantum ETF increased its allocation to Quantum eMotion to approximately 2.18% of its portfolio. This weighting translates to 18.48 million shares.

This positioning places Quantum eMotion ahead of several established technology holdings within the ETF, including:
- Nutanix (1.36%)
- Wipro (1.32%)
- Fujitsu (1.30%)
- Nokia (1.30%)
- Honeywell (1.29%)
- Palantir Technologies (1.28%)

CEO Francis Bellido views this portfolio weight as a validation of the company's strategic focus on quantum cybersecurity, particularly in Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG), post-quantum cryptography, and Entropy-as-a-Service solutions.

Market Valuation and Performance Context

Quantum eMotion's current market capitalization stands at approximately C$1.05 billion. On a twelve-month basis, the equity has achieved a gain exceeding 1,000%, significantly outperforming the S&P/TSX Composite index, which advanced 29% over the same period.

The journey from a development-stage quantum technology firm to the leading holding in a major thematic ETF reflects a shift in institutional perception regarding quantum cybersecurity infrastructure. Forthcoming tests will likely center on the execution of announced products and partnerships, alongside progress on the critical FIPS certification pathway.
