Prophecy DeFi Inc. (" Prophecy DeFi " or the " Company ") (CSE: PDFI), a publicly traded investment firm focused on the decentralized finance sector, is pleased to announce its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 ("Q1").

Q1 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

• Cash & Digital Assets of $9,821,748
• Realized Liquidity Mining Rewards of $462,678
• Net loss per share of $(0.03)

Cryptocurrency markets experienced tremendous volatility during the first quarter of 2022, which persists into the current quarter. Prophecy DeFi's wholly owned subsidiary, Layer2 Blockchain Inc. (" Layer2 ") navigated this environment well, as a result of its diversified portfolio consisting of 15 active positions and assets that include fiat-collateralized stablecoins and blue-chip digital assets. During Q1, Layer2's management team rebalanced its portfolio to maximize risk-adjusted returns and will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. The liquidity mining rewards that Layer2 realized in Q1 were strong and the portfolio continues to realize these rewards notwithstanding the broader price depreciation of cryptocurrency assets, globally.

"Under the backdrop of a significant compression in the value of digital assets, Layer2's portfolio continued to generate liquidity mining yields and Prophecy DeFi advanced another $3M, which was deployed into crypto assets during the period," said John McMahon , CEO, Prophecy DeFi. "As we move forward into 2022, Prophecy DeFi will continue to seek out new organic and inorganic growth opportunities that will add value and diversify our revenue and asset composition. Additionally, in light of recent market conditions, the Company has taken significant actions to eliminate operating costs through salary reductions and cuts relating to all non-essential services."
