Hong Kong, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOLOWIN HOLDINGS (NASDAQ:SWIN) ("Solowin" or the "Company"), a leading financial services firm providing comprehensive solutions across traditional and digital assets, today announced that its class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Ordinary Shares") will commence trading under the new ticker symbol "AXG" on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), effective at the market open on Friday, October 10, 2025. Until that date, the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares will continue to trade under the current ticker symbol "SWIN."

The new "AXG" ticker symbolizes Solowin's definitive transformation. The Company is now strategically centered on the Web3 business through the acquisition of AlloyX Limited ("AlloyX") and the development of AX Coin. This focus positions the Company at the forefront of building critical infrastructure for asset tokenization and global digital payments, fundamentally reshaping the Company's business model. The following milestones demonstrate the Company's commitment to this direction:

Strategic Acquisition of AlloyX Limited: In September 2025, Solowin completed the acquisition of AlloyX, a financial technology leader in digital asset infrastructure. This merger combines Solowin's traditional finance strengths with AlloyX's technological innovation, establishing a compliant ecosystem that bridges the traditional finance (TradFi) and the crypto economies. AlloyX's core technology, including institutional-grade tokenization platforms and secure fiat-to-stablecoin solutions, now forms the foundation of Solowin's Web3 strategy.
AX Coin Stablecoin Infrastructure: Solowin restructured AX Coin HK Limited, positioning it as a cornerstone of its strategic vision. Stablecoin is being developed as a next-generation payment instrument designed to support global commerce and settlement. Built on a unified, multi-audit security framework with global coverage, AX Coin aims to enhance cross-border payment efficiency and promote a compliant, transparent ecosystem. This global framework ensures operational consistency while providing robust security and trust for all users.
Ferion RWA Platform: Besides Solomon VA+, Solowin also launched Ferion, an independently developed real-world asset (RWA) platform providing end-to-end digital asset solutions, from tokenization, blockchain-based issuance to compliance management and ongoing lifecycle administration.

Meanwhile, Solowin continues to expand into new fintech frontiers. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Solomon JFZ (Asia) Holding Limited ("Solomon"), holds a full suite of upgraded crypto licenses from the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission (SFC). As one of the first participating dealers in Hong Kong's spot BTC/ETH ETFs, Solomon has seen substantial growth in client virtual asset holdings. It has also launched Asia's first RWA fund and received approval to distribute private tokenized fund products.

Peter Lok, CEO of Solowin, commented: "AXG embodies our new vision and strategic direction. The global stablecoin market has already reached issuance volumes in hundreds of billions of dollars, and compliant, infrastructure-driven solutions will be central to the next era of digital finance. Through deliberate strategic initiatives and acquisitions, we are building a bridge between traditional finance and the crypto world, fundamentally reshaping our business structure and capabilities. We believe this foundation positions Solowin to capture opportunities in the next wave of fintech innovation."

AlloyX also plans to launch a USD 100 million ecosystem fund -- AX Venture -- dedicated to accelerating innovation across the digital asset landscape. AX Venture will focus on advancing stablecoin infrastructure, tokenization technology, and RWA liquidity.

Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Thomas Zhu, Co-Founder & CEO of AlloyX, stated, "Our goal is to support projects that create strong synergies with AlloyX while reinforcing the foundation and adoption of programmable money and digital asset super-apps in the emerging Web3 era."

No action is required from existing shareholders in connection with the ticker change, and the Company's CUSIP number will remain unchanged.
