AQRU plc, an incubator specialising in decentralised finance (DeFi),  announces today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Accru Finance Ltd., has surpassed US$50 million in  assets under management and 20,000 user signups on its proprietary yield-generating platform,  AQRU.io. The milestone was achieved only five months since the platform’s launch and 39 days after  the company announced that it reached around US$20 million (£16.5 million) in assets under  management. 

AQRU.io was designed to offer investors with an easy and secure way to access and participate in the  decentralised markets. The platform allows users to easily convert their fiat currency, such as EUR and  GBP, into cryptocurrency and participate in staking1, which is the locking of funds to receive crypto  rewards, and yield farming2, where crypto assets are locked to earn interest of up to 12%. Users can  also withdraw their assets at any time, either as fiat or cryptocurrency.  

Since AQRU.io was launched in December 2021, the platform has received significant demand from  both retail and institutional investors as it has proven to be a simple and easy-to-use solution to access  the decentralised markets. Indeed, AQRU.io only requires users to connect their digital wallets to the  platform and select from the different automatic investment strategies available on AQRU.io. And, once  this has been set-up, users can keep track of their investments’ performance in real-time through the  online platform or the mobile app.  

Security has been a priority for Accru Finance when developing AQRU.io. This is why the platform has  been secured by Fireblocks, an industry leader in digital asset security that has secured the transfer of  over $400 billion in digital assets, using bank-grade security software to reassure investors that their  money is safe in the AQRU.io platform.  

Philip Blows, CEO of AQRU, said:  

“With more than $50 million in assets under management and 20,000 signups in only five months,  AQRU.io has demonstrated itself an attractive solution that enables investors to take advantage of the  opportunities that DeFi has to offer. As decentralised finance grows, we expect AQRU.io will remain a  favoured choice for retail investors, as well as an appealing and sought-after solution for institutional  investors in Europe and other international markets too.”
