SOLOWIN HOLDINGS Secures Compliant Access to North American Markets

In order to obtain a Canadian Money Services Business (MSB) license, SOLOWIN HOLDINGS (NASDAQ: AXG) (“AXG” or the “Company”), a prominent financial technology company that bridges traditional and digital assets, announced today that it intends to acquire Gello Finance Ltd. through its wholly owned subsidiary AlloyX (Hong Kong) Limited (“AlloyX”). A crucial component of the company's global expansion strategy, the completion of this movement would provide it with completely compliant access to North American markets.

The MSB license would enable AXG to lawfully carry out a wide range of financial services in the area, such as payment processing, cross-border remittances, virtual currency services, and foreign exchange transactions, all of which are registered under the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada's (FINTRAC) regulatory framework. With the license, AXG would formally join the regulated mainstream financial and digital asset ecosystems in North America.

“Securing this registration would demonstrate AXG's dedication to fulfilling the strict compliance requirements of significant international economies, including Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations” , said Dr. Thomas Zhu, Director of AXG and CEO of AlloyX. “For our North American clients, this strategic foothold will offer the necessary legal framework to enable smooth fiat and cryptocurrency conversions. In the context of the global digital banking scene, it will greatly improve our service capabilities and increase our market potential.”
