- Supernova Digital Assets Plc (AQSE: SOL, OTC: DSPHF), formerly known as AQRU Plc, operates as an investment company focused on identifying and building opportunities in the Solana cryptocurrency ecosystem and broader digital assets sector. Incorporated in 2019 and headquartered at 9th Floor, 16 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5DG, United Kingdom, the company previously incubated and provided decentralised finance (DeFi) services through platforms such as AQRU.io, which offered cryptocurrency yield generation including up to 10% APY on stablecoins like USDC via products such as Real-World Receivables, Maple USDC, Flex USDC, Maple ETH, Flex ETH, and Flex BTC; AQRU Trend, a high-return cryptocurrency strategy; AQRU Exchange for crypto trading; and Yield-as-a-Service solutions integrating CeFi and DeFi opportunities with daily interest payments, transparent pricing, bank transfers, credit card deposits, and 24-hour withdrawals. It targeted retail and institutional investors seeking crypto portfolio interest earnings, trading, and asset allocation across stablecoins, ETH, BTC, and other cryptocurrencies, with operations centered in the UK and partnerships extending yield services globally.
In January 2024, the company underwent a significant strategic shift by changing its name from AQRU Plc to Supernova Digital Assets Plc, effective 26 January 2024, alongside updating its ticker to SOL, to align with its refocused mission on the high-growth Solana ecosystem, including acquisitions of minority interests in Solana-related companies and applying expertise to their operations. This followed earlier developments such as the 2022 rebranding from Dispersion Holdings Plc, the launch of AQRU.io in December 2021, and partnerships including with Maple Finance for DeFi yield integration and Quickbit eu AB for expanded customer reach. Recent activities within the last 1-2 years encompass share buybacks (e.g., December 2024), related party transactions like the sale of its Phoenix Digital Assets stake, grants of share options and director dealings (January 2025), half-yearly results and AGM notices (July 2025), holdings notifications (October 2025), an acquisition of Hyperslot (March 2024), and annual results releases (April 2025), reflecting ongoing capital management, investments, and shareholder value initiatives amid a pivot from direct DeFi platforms to Solana-focused investments. The company maintains a cash position supporting its deployment into early-stage crypto and digital assets ventures, with no significant subsidiaries or parent relationships noted beyond prior entities like Accru Finance Ltd.
